Acid Rain
Acid rain is a rain that is unusually acidic, low pH, and it can harm plants, animals, and humans… Acid rain was discovered in 1853, until the late 1960s, scientists began observing and studying.
Acid rain occurs in the form of snow, fog, and tiny bits of dry material that settle to Earth.
In some case, acid rain is actually helpful but it’s harmful too.
In Nature Geoscience, researchers describe that acid rain helped preserve glaciers, and I totally agree with that because heavy rain actually help preserve glaciers.
Rain is acidic because of the presence of carbon dioxide. Sulfur and nitrogen came from natural sources.
The damage that results from acid rain was a big problem that people have to deal with. Because carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere acid rain will make it harder to breath. I think that acid rain is not really safety because it might give us trouble breathing. Some carbon dioxide is normal in the atmosphere, ant it helps creating clean atmosphere, preventing Earth from being frozen. Acid rain also makes the oceans more acidic. Acid rain is bad and good at the same time, so depend on different situations; we the people have to discuss more about what to do with acid rain. Air pollution

    Some of the probable sources of acid precipitation is Fog, and rain. During the summer it hardly rains which makes it hard for our crops to grow, also since we are in the valley it makes it hard for us to get the water that we need. During the fall it gets very foggy in the mornings and it makes it very difficult to see while your driving. Prevailing winds can also transport the acid precipitation from these sources to areas downwind, which is an example of valley fever. Valley fever is a disease caused by a fungus, Coccidioides, which lives in the soil of relatively arid regions (southwest U.S.). People can be infected by this if they inhale the dust that's contaminated with the Coccidioides, This can not be transmitted person to person.…

    Pure water has a pH of 7.0 meaning in is neutral. Acid rain has a pH of 5.6 resulting it in being acidic. Acid rain forms when high rates of nitric acid (in a gas state) are in the atmosphere. Human activities are the main cause of acid rain. Due to human combustion from nuclear power plants, factories, volcanoes and car fuel release this nitric acid into the air, high rise winds carries the gas to many locations. This causes the increase of nitric oxide, and sulphur dioxide to increases in our atmosphere. As more and more toxic pollutants are released into the atmosphere the more acidic substances will become. When these chemicals react with oxygen, toxic pollutants are released causing rain and etc to become toxic. As precipitation occurs, the acid rain will be stored in clouds and precipitate down to earth’s…
