Study Notes

Acid Rain Formation

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) react with water in the atmosphere to form acid rain.

Impact of Acid Rain

Acid rain disrupts the natural balance of ecosystems, leading to soil acidification, water pollution, and damage to forests and aquatic life.

Causes of Acid Rain

The primary cause of acid rain is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which release large amounts of SO2 and NOx into the atmosphere.
Human activities that contribute to the formation of acid rain include industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and energy generation.

Environmental Impacts

Acid rain can lead to the depletion of calcium and magnesium in soil, altering the pH level and affecting plant growth.
It can also contaminate water sources, making them unsuitable for human consumption and harming aquatic life.
