where does acid rain come from?

Answer 1

Acid rain or acid deposition, form of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) containing high levels of sulfuric or nitric acids (pH below 5.5—5.6). Produced when sulfur dioxide and various nitrogen oxides combine with atmospheric moisture, acid rain can contaminate drinking water, damage vegetation and aquatic life, and erode buildings and monuments. Automobile exhausts and the burning of high-sulfur industrial fuels are thought to be the main causes, but natural sources, such as volcanic gases and forest fires, may also be significant. It has been an increasingly serious problem since the 1950s, particularly in the NE United States, Canada, and W Europe, especially Scandinavia.

Answer 2

Acid rain comes from the collective pollutents that that decrease the PH levels in the atmospheric water contents.

Answer 3

No, it is caused by excessive conifer forestation. The main cause in Europe is the Scandinavian countries such as Norway which have vastly expanded the area of fir trees grown since the 1920's. These cause massive acid runoffs and an acidic soil due to the thick layer of shed needles in the huge woods.

Answer 4

all the chemical industries produce a large amount of polluted gas(a gas in having an acidic pH)and some polluted water.

when one of them is a part of the mixture of the cloud which is goin to fall as rain,then the cloud can be called as an acidic cloud and the rain droplets from that cloud is acidic rain.

Answer 5

Acid rain comes from the mixture of rain and polluted air.

Answer 6

Fine soot particles from burning fossil fuels such as coal gas and petroleum products go up into the atmosphere where they become attached to moisture in the clouds and eventually fall as acid rain.

Answer 7

The sky
