of such as nitrogen and sulfur oxides‚ that is unusually acidic‚ meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). Acid rain is also called acid deposition because this term includes other forms of acidic precipitation such as snow. The acid deposition is occurs in two way which is wet deposition and dry deposition. It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals‚ and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which react in the
