Acid rain is caused when acid gases rise into the sky and mix with the clouds, this causes the clouds ‘absorb’ the acid gasses and when the clouds produce rain, it falls with a higher than normal level of acidity.Rain is naturally acidic, but acid gasses make it even more acidic.Acid gasses are mainly caused by humans burning fossil fuels like coal and oil;but nature also creates these gasses with volcanoes.

Rain is normally a bit acidic, with a ph of around 5.5, if the ph of rain is below 5.5, then the rain is most likely contaminated by acid gases.

Gasses that cause acid rain are sulphur and nitrogen.When these gasses mix with the oxygen and water vapour in the air it causes sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide to be formed.Most of the sulphur released into the atmosphere comes from power stations;volcanoes also produce lots of sulphur when they erupt.Most of the nitrogen oxides come from the vehicles people around the world travel in daily, from planes, cars and trucks.

Acid rain is a problem all over the world, when acid gases are released, they go up in the sky, and then they are carried by strong winds.

Dear Malik Naser Abbood Alkinani

Acid rains happen when gases such as Carbon dioxide and Sulfur dioxide combine with water particles and form the Sulfuric and Carbonic acids. Carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are emitted mainly due to combustion of fossil fuels. It it obvious that if more of these gases are emitted then more acid rains are expected. The carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are also responsible for global warming.

hope my answer would help you

Kind regards

Dear Malik Naser

I agree with the researchers ( Khansaa Azeez Obayes Al-Husseini and Miyuru Bandara Gunathilake )about the source of acid rain is the gases emitted from the factories resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels Which produces the suspended particles in the Earth's atmosphere, the acid rain affect the Ph soil and reduce its values but i think that air pollution leads to climatic changes

preIndustrial rains were acidic (pH 5.6) due mainly to CO2. burning coal and oil lead to increases in acidity down to 4 and below due to sulfur and nitric oxides that are acidic and transform into strong acids. The same sources emit CO2 and started th buildup in GHG we see now. As many countries controlled SOX and NOX, acid rain that affected fresh water and terrestrial ecosystems improved. But CO 2 continues to increase globally. Wet and dry deposition of unnaturally higher levels of CO2 is now acidifying the oceans, which was not a major concern about the the earlier acid ran issue. It is one of the effects that isn’t addressed by geo engineering by dimming sunlight. you Should look up current and potential effects of ocean acidification as carbon emissions continue to rise.

Well,

Acid rain occurs when precipitation containing acidic particles falls on the surface of the Earth.

Climate change define by an inseparable characteristic of the climate which is manifested by changes and deviations in time. The degree of climatic variability can be described by the differences between long-term average values ​​of climatic parameters (rainfall, temperature, humidity, season duration) and observed values ​​taken at different temporal and spatial scales.

Regards,

acid rain and climate change are related that both come from burning of fossil fuels, especially coals or petrol that contain much sulfur. .With acid rain also nitrogen is involved. However there are different causation of same or similar processes. Sulfuric acid is not a greenhouse gas.....

Acid rain limits climate change by reducing methane emissions from natural wetland areas.

Climate change and acid rain are closely associated, so much so that acid rain's impacts need to be part of climate change studies."Acid rain really has left a legacy in terms of how it has changed our systems.Acid rain is caused by air pollutants, mostly nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, which are produced by power plants and gasoline-powered vehicles. Most rain is slightly acidic, but these pollutants can make rain much more acidic (to a pH of 4 -- neutral pH is 7). Acid rain has many ecological effects, especially on lakes, streams, wetlands, and other aquatic environments. Acid rain makes such waters moreacidic, which results in more aluminum absorption from soil, which is carried into lakes and streams. ... Trees' leaves and needles are also harmed by acids.

Acid rain can be caused by Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide and other acidic gases and combine with water. Its associated with climate changes.

Acid Rain was the first phenomenon observed by the increase of these gases (S, N, C) in the air. Carbon gas has become so concentrated in the air that it has caused another effect, that of the increase in temperature and this is more serious because it causes extreme weather.

Soil is a nutrient source and filtration system for both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and human-triggered changes in the atmosphere that produce acid rain are severely altering the chemistry and functionality of soils all over the globe. Acid rain is caused by air pollutants, mostly nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, which are produced by power plants and gasoline-powered vehicles. Most rain is slightly acidic, but these pollutants can make rain much more acidic.
