What is it?
  • Acid rain is rain that is more acidic than it should be.
  • Acid Rain is not only rain,but any form of precipitation(rain, fog, snow, sleet, hail and any other forms of precipitation that I didn’t think of)
  • A better name for it is Acid Deposition

Other Information about Acid Rain
  • The two elements responsible for Acid Rain are sulfur dioxide(SO*)and nitrogen dioxide(NO*).SO* comes from factories,and NO* comes from transportation.
  • What we do to cause acid rain is driving cars and burning fossil fuels.SO DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!!
  • Acid Rain is a misleading term because ALL forms of precipitation are slightly acidic.It becomes a problem when the precipitation is too acidic.

What it effects
  • It affects buildings by wearing them down so other types of disasters(wind,rain,ext.)are more likely to harm them.Acid Rain is actually why the Statue of Liberty is Green!!!!!
  • It affects people when they drink it.It can give you many things including dry coughs,nose and throat irritations,liver problems,asthma and more!!!!!
  • It affects plants and trees by making them more weak to other disasters (wind,rain,ext.),just like buildings.If their roots absorb Acid rain,it can die.
