Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Acid deposition is the process by which the acid formed in the atmosphere falls off with the rain and gets deposited in the lithosphere.

The deposition of the acid in the soil causes many adverse effects on the living organisms especially plants as deposition of acid leads to the reactions which result in the release of the elements from their compounds via a process known as "leaching".

The leaching of the elements leads to the decrease in the fertility of the soil and thus productivity of the plants or crops.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The acid rain is usually defined as a type of precipitation which is comprised of acids such as sulfuric and nitric acids and is harmful to the living organism.

It directly affects the soil because the nutrient particles present in the soil such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and aluminum are washed away during acid rain. The acid rain adds the hydrogen ions to the soil and reacts with the nutrients present in the soil and thereby removes it and it eventually flows to the streams and rivers. This process of eroding soil particles is often known as leaching.

Thus, Acid rain leads to the leaching of important soil minerals.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Hello?? Can anyone help me??! PLEASE
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The temperature is staying the same. In the graph when it shows solid/liquid and liquid/gas, the temperature stays the same until it changes. This is because it reached it's melting point/vaporizing point. For example, a solid gets heated up, it then reaches it's melting point but it can't go higher than that because it isn't fully a liquid yet, once it's a liquid it will then continue to rise in temperature.

I don't think I put enough detail into that explanation but I hope this helps your problem.
