NGSS.HS-LS2-7

a secondary pollutant

• forms in the stratosphere

• is transformed by sunlight, water, or other elements in the atmosphere

• cannot be directly tracked to its source

• forms primarily from incomplete combustion

Which is a source of sulfur dioxide found in nature?

• forest fires

• lightning

• plant emissions

• volcano

Thermal inversions

• increase the rate of smog formation

• trap high concentrations of pollution at ground level

• result in increased levels of acid deposition

• reduce the negative effects of VOC's

Acid deposition forms as a result of

• nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog

• carbon monoxide and VOC's

• sulfur dioxide and VOC's

• nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides
