manufacturing industries, oil refineries, automobile emissions, and power generation activities in a typical city. Daily, these industries burn fossil fuels and produce smoke and gases containing pollutants into the atmosphere.\u00a0<br \/>See #1 in the illustration below. The pollutants, resulting from human activities travel with the wind, air currents, and storm systems and spread into the atmosphere #2. Some pollutants result from natural occurrences such as volcanic ash and natural fire emissions.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11784\" src=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/what-is-acid-rain.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/what-is-acid-rain.png 600w, https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/what-is-acid-rain-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"p1\">As moisture builds up in the atmosphere (rain formation processes) the moisture reacts with these atmospheric gases. Gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides react with water molecules to produce sulfuric and nitric acid. Acid rain then falls #3 on land and into water bodies #4. <br \/>Typically, acid rain has a pH below 4.5 on the pH scale. Sometimes, when there are higher concentrations of pollutants, acid rain can become more acidic.<\/p><p>The gases sulfur dioxide and various nitrous oxides are mainly responsible for the increase in acidity. Natural sources of Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen oxides are from automobile combustion, fires, lightning, and volcanoes, and have an equally important effect on acid rain (pH levels) as manmade sources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a584eb6\" data-id=\"a584eb6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0e1c15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"e0e1c15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Tall-Responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4993435605385515\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6804764118\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-bb195bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bb195bf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d90384\" data-id=\"7d90384\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7210616 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7210616\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/what-is-acid-rain\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">GO BACK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-12e5023\" data-id=\"12e5023\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c806855 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c806855\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/effect-of-acid-rain\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">NEXT PAGE<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acid Rain Acid Rain as an environmental concern What is Acid Rain?
