Acid Rain

Acid Rain

 

        Acid rain is rainfall that is turned to acid because of pollution in the air. It can cause harm to our
environment, mostly to forests and lakes.  The main cause of acid rain is the burning of coal and other fossil fuels.  All the gasses join together and turn the atmospheric water into acids.

        The effects of acid rain are the lakes and streams can have acid in them that will kill the plants and animals , it can damage the trees at high elevations and it can accelerate  the decay of building materials and paints.  Including one of a kind buildings, statues, and sculptures.        

        Some things that we can do to help stop acid rain are....We can try to use cars less often. You could car pool, walk or ride bikes. Try to save electricity by turning off lights, or the T.V. and, using things that use less energy such as LED lights.
