The burning contains sulfur and nitrogen oxides. The waste of these gases combine with the atmosphere to form acids.

Humans use cars which release nitrogen oxides in the air from the exhaust in cars. The use of electricity also contributes to the issue of Acid rain because power plants burn and release nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal, in order to produce electricity. All these pollutants all cause acid rain. ]]> 2020-12-17 16:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028491186 pulgaall000_2 https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028495072 Nature relies on balance, and although some rain is naturally acidic, with a PH level of around 5.0, human activities have made it worse. Normal precipitation, like rain, sleet, or snow interacts with alkaline chemicals, or non-acidic materials. These materials can be found in air, soils, bedrock, lakes, and streams. These reactions usually neutralize natural acids. However, if precipitation becomes too acidic, these materials may not be able to neutralize all of the acids. Eventually, these neutralizing materials can be washed away by acid rain, which can lead to damage to crops, trees, lakes, rivers, and animals.]]> 2020-12-17 16:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028495072 pulgaall000_2 https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028496359 This data supports how human activities have impacted the acid rain issue because the data shows that SO2 (Sulfur) emissions are mainly caused by Utilities. NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) emissions are mainly caused by transport. Both of these emission sources are accessible through human activities.]]> 2020-12-17 16:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028496359 pulgaall000_2 https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028497336 A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.]]> 2020-12-17 16:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pulgaall000_2/drnos749p5sm2yoo/wish/1028497336
