Acid rain is just a way to say several ways that acids fall out of the sky the real term is acid deposition. There are two parts to acid deposition wet and dry.

Wet deposition is Fog, Rain and Snow. This type mostly effects plants, animals and water. The strength of the effects depends on its ph level and with what it comes in contact with.

Dry deposition is acidic gases and particles. The wind blows these gases and transports them when they come into contact with building, trees... the stick to those things. When it rains the rain washes off the building and the rain becomes more acidic.

Acid rain was discovered in 1852 by Scientist when a english chemist Robert Agnus invented the term. They discovered it by testing the ph level of rain 1 day and found out

Acid rain also creates a big problem for us to. Acid rain takes stuff out of the soil like mercury or other stuff which then flow into are rivers and contaminate the fish. There are over 10, 000 lakes that people should not eat the fish cause of the high mercury level. Not only that but it also reacts with lead and copper in the water pipes and contaminates are drinking water. In some places theres so much copper in the drinking water it can turn your hair green even cause liver damage.

Acid rain happens when the gases Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen oxides react with the water in the atmosphere to form acid rain. The sun helps speed up this process.
