what effect does acid rain have on the environment?

Question

science lesson

Answer 1

destructive since it changes the natural PH level

you got the best of both worlds didn't you
A linker not a thinker
AND a paster you doesn't read what they paste
( sorry i guess paster is not a word - but it should be lol )

the plants and animals are adapted to the PH level ( acidity ) of the environment and when that changes they are stressed or killed - if the change is not major they will adapt or other species will move in BUT if it is severe then most of the life dies ( the dead lakes around the world )

Answer 2

Acid rain can be carried great distances in the atmosphere, not just between countries but also from continent to continent. The acid can also take the form of snow, mists and dry dusts. The rain sometimes falls many miles from the source of pollution but wherever it falls it can have a serious effect on soil, trees, buildings and water.

Forests all over the world are dying, fish are dying. In Scandinavia there are dead lakes, which are crystal clear and contain no living creatures or plant life. Many of Britain's freshwater fish are threatened, there have been reports of deformed fish being hatched. This leads to fish-eating birds and animals being affected also. Is acid rain responsible for all this? Scientists have been doing a lot of research into how acid rain affects the environment.

Answer 3

Also do you remember in the 1970's the "Global Cooling" Scare? You see we were all going to Freeze humanes plants and the seas and oceans....

Answer 4

Little to non. There plants processing natural gas in billion of cubic ft per year and along with that gas there is H2S a very deadly Gaus. The plants burn H2S and when it burns it produces SO2 and it doesn't affect the plants near the plants.
