Question

What is acid rain ?

Answer 1

Acid rain is a result of air pollution. When any type of fuel is burnt, lots of different chemicals are produced. The smoke that comes from a fire or the fumes that come out of a car exhaust don't just contain the sooty Grey particles that you can see - they also contains lots of invisible gases that can be even more harmful to our environment.

Power stations, factories and cars all burn fuels and therefore they all produce polluting gases. Some of these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric and nitric acids. The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid - which is why it is known as "acid rain".

Answer 2

Acid rain is rain with a higher acidic level. It is formed when fossil fuels are burned, the fossil fuels release sulphur dioxide, amongst other gases, and this reacts with water vapour in the air. The sulphur dioxide- water vapour condenses and forms acid rain. When this falls it erodes marble, and pollutes water, eventually killing fish and everything that eats or drinks from the water. Trees die too.
