Acid Rain Awareness

What is acid rain?

• Acid rain is a type of precipitation resulting from excessive deforestation.

• Acid rain is a type of precipitation formed by volcanic eruptions.

• Acid rain is a type of precipitation with elevated levels of hydrogen ions, primarily caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels.

• Acid rain is a type of precipitation caused by excessive sunlight exposure.

What are the main causes of acid rain?

• Excessive use of sunscreen

• Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels and industrial processes.

• Acidic fruits falling from trees

• Alien invasion

How does acid rain affect the environment?

• Acid rain affects the environment by harming plants, aquatic life, soil, biodiversity, and infrastructure.

• Acid rain improves soil quality

• Acid rain helps plants grow faster

• Acid rain has no impact on the environment

Which gases contribute to the formation of acid rain?

• Carbon monoxide and methane

• Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

• Ozone and carbon dioxide

• Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide

What are the effects of acid rain on aquatic life?

• Acid rain promotes the growth of aquatic organisms

• Acid rain increases the pH of water bodies

• Acid rain has no impact on aquatic life

• Acid rain can harm aquatic life by lowering the pH of water bodies, disrupting mineral balance, and harming fish, plants, and other organisms.

What is the pH range of acid rain?

• 6.8 to 7.0

• 5.0 to 4

• 3.5 to 3.7

How does acid rain affect soil quality?

• Acid rain affects soil quality by lowering pH, releasing toxic metals, harming plant roots, reducing nutrient availability, and disrupting the soil microbial community.

• Acid rain increases soil pH levels

• Acid rain has no impact on soil quality

• Acid rain promotes plant growth in soil

Why is it important to raise awareness about acid rain?

• Raising awareness about acid rain has no impact on the environment

• Raising awareness about acid rain helps educate the public and drive action to reduce harmful emissions.

• Awareness about acid rain leads to increased pollution

• Acid rain is a natural phenomenon and does not require awareness
