Acid rain is basically the industrial burning of coal, oil and natural gases. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide escape into the air. From there they dissolve in the water inside the clouds and make the rainwater more acidic than normal.
Cause of acid rain
The main cause of acid rain is when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. They rise really high into the atmosphere and begin to mix and react with water, oxygen, and other things to form more acidic pollutants.
Effects of acid rain
The effects of acid rain are mostly seen in aquatic environments. For example, streams, lakes, and marshes. Usually, where it is harmful to wildlife. After it flows through the soil it then flows into the streams and lakes.
