ACID RAIN Acidified particulate matter in the atmosphere that is deposited by precipitation on to a surface‚ often eroding the surface away. This precipitation generally has a pH less than 5and some times much lower depending upon the concentration of acidic components. Acidic deposition principally by the pollutant gases such as sulphur dioxide (so2) and the nitrogen oxides cause acidic deposition. The burning of fossil fuels‚ such as coal‚ forms Sulphur dioxide. that contain high quantities of

titled Cat in the Rain. The title suggests that something weak (‘cat’) is trapped in a difficult situation (‘rain’). Since cats are generally very afraid of water‚ being in the rain can be such a torture to them.

Introduction: Acid rain increases the rate of corrosion on statues made of certain material. The town council wants to build a statue that will not be affected by acid rain. In this experiment‚ three different types of rock are used on vinegar (acting as acid rain). The rocks used are marble‚ granite‚ and red sandstone‚ which are the most popular forms of rocks used to build monuments.

The first piece of work that caught my eye at the Ackland Museum of Art was a piece entitled “After the Rain.” “After the Rain” was created by George Wesley Bellows in 1913. The artwork is relatively small at around fifteen by twenty inches‚ and is surround by a golden frame. The piece is an oil artwork depicting a forest landscape on a cliff overlooking the ocean. This piece is similar to other pieces in the exhibit because of simply what time period it was created in. The exhibit incorporated different

How Healthy is the Conodoguinet Creek? Acid rain and Eutrophication are the two main pollution in Central Pennsylvania. Acid rain is a bad type of rain whiles eutrophication is the process where water bodies receive excess nutrients. Our mission here is to determine whether the Conodoguinet Creek is polluted or not. My hypothesis before the experiments was if there was to be signs of acid rain and eutrophication‚ then it means the Creek is polluted We went to the creek
