when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition that means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries‚ coal burning factories‚ power plants and automobile engines are the main sources of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that cause acid rain. Volcanoes

habitat and slow water flow‚ thereby enhancing sediment deposition in areas where it is already occurring. The fine‚ anoxic sediments under mangroves act as sinks for a variety of heavy (trace) metals which colloidal particles in the sediments scavenged from the water. Mangrove removal disturbs these underlying sediments‚ often creating problems of trace metal contamination of seawater and biota. Mangroves protect coastal areas from erosion‚ storm surge (especially during hurricanes)‚ and tsunamis

of acid rain. Acid deposition‚ more commonly known as acid rain‚ occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) react in the atmosphere with water‚ oxygen‚ and oxidants to form acidic compounds. This mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric and nitric acid which then falls to the earth in either wet (rain‚ snow‚ sleet or fog) or dry (gas and particles) form. Approximately one-half of the atmosphere ’s acidity falls back to earth through dry deposition in the form of particles

factories‚ cars‚ and etc. This is the concept of acid rain‚ which according to EPA.gov is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Acid rain isn’t just rain‚ its forms like hail or snow‚ which is wet deposition‚ and smoke or dust‚ which is dry deposition. The effects of acid rain are quite terrifying bringing all types of problems to the Earth‚ for example forests depletions in Canada‚ threatening

PARADIGM SHIFTS A paradigm is a world view that controls the way we understand the world in which we live. A paradigm shift occurs when the dominant paradigm is replaced by a new paradigm. Some examples of paradigm shifts are given below. One of the most significant paradigm shifts occurred in science when the paradigm that united all truth into one was replaced by a paradigm that separated the revealed truth of the Bible from scientific truth. Newton wrote that‚ "He was thinking God’s thoughts

Acid Rain Definition: The term acid rain refers to what scientists call acid deposition. It is caused by airborne acidic pollutants and has highly destructive results. Scientists first discovered acid rain in 1852‚ when the English chemist Robert Agnus invented the term. From then until now‚ acid rain has been an issue of intense debate among scientists and policy makers. Acid rain‚ one of the most important environmental problems of all‚ cannot be seen. The invisible gases that cause acid

Question 1 What are probable sources of acid precipitation in your community? What impact can this have on the environment in your region? Some of the probable sources of acid precipitation is Fog‚ and rain. During the summer it hardly rains which makes it hard for our crops to grow‚ also since we are in the valley it makes it hard for us to get the water that we need. During the fall it gets very foggy in the mornings and it makes it very difficult to see while your driving. Prevailing
