Question

what is the effect of acid rain

Answer 1

Hey mate here is your answer》》

Scientists believe that acidic water dissolves the nutrients and helpful minerals in the soil and then washes them away before the trees and other plants can use them to grow. At the same time, the acid rain causes the release of toxic substances such as aluminum into the soil.

Hope this answer will help you..《《

Answer 2

Dissolves buildings and statues, especially those made of limestonemetals.

Kills marine life by making the water too acidic. Proteins in organisms, like enzymes, are pH sensitive. Low pH denatures these proteins and kills the organisms.

Kills trees. Similarly, proteins in trees are susceptible to pH changes. Acid also dissolves cuticles, the fatty layer on leaves that minimizes water loss. This leads to excessive loss of water and death.

Washes away critical mineral ions. Aluminum ions, in particular, can be toxic in high concentrations. Acid rain washes away these ions and concentrates them downstream, killing plants.

Causes eutrophication. Eutrophication is the process where oxygen in water is exhausted by rapidly dividing bacteria. Nitrate ions in acid rain encourages the growth of algae, causing an algae boom. The algae blocks the sunlight needed by underwater plants. These plants die. Bacteria feed on the death plants and respire aerobicly, using up the oxygen in water.
