Answer 1

Answer:

The phenomenon of marble cancer is due to ACID RAIN.

Explanation:

The marble corrosion is a process by which the marbles or limestone used in construction of monuments and buildings is corroded away by the acid rain.  The sulphur-dioxide and  nitrogen oxides present in the atmosphere undergoes certain chemical reaction causing this acid rain. These chemical in the acid rain converts the calcium  present in the limestone or marble into salt.
