Acid Rain


Acid Rain is only slightly acidic.Acid Rain is formed by the burning coal that have a lot of sulfur that produces a lot of sulfur oxides. It is composed of oxygen and sulfur. Acid Rain forms when Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides combine with water in the air to form nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The issue is that acid rain can destroy trees and buildings as well as lakes and ponds. to approve the conditions of acid rain pollution must be controlled by focusing on ways to reduce the amount of pollutants coming from cars and factories. The way students can contribute is to get their parents to car pool and to recycle.

I liked they way you put students so we can see how we can help not just people in general. I also liked the diagram you had to describe acid rain. I just have one question how does the acid rain destroy the trees and stuff??

The differences between photochemical pollution and acid rain. Is yours is made when water and sulfur oxides. When photochemical smog is made it is nitrogen oxides and sunlight.

The difference between London-type smog and acid rain is that acid rain is in the form of a liquid while, London-type smog is in the form of a combination of smoke and fog, thus the term "smog." Also, acid rain has the ability to burn through hard surfaces and London-type smog does not.
