Facts about Acid Rain


Recommended Posts

Acid Rain is sulfur and water, nitrogen and water, and carbon and water. It damages leaves on plants which causes less growth. It also depletes micro-nutrients in soil. For the aquatic ecosystem it kills plankton/fish, and lowers the diversity. Most acidic areas are in the North Eastern part of the United States. It is also found in parts of Canada because of the US.

 

To measure the Acidic levels, a pH scale is used. pH scale is between the numbers 1-14. If the level falls lower than 7 it is a very acidic area. If the falls higher than 7 it is a basic level of acid.
