Rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, the waste gases from which contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which combine with atmospheric water to form acids.

<u>Answer:</u>

Any form of precipitation that has a pH level of less than 5.2 can be termed as acid rain.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Air pollutants like sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide that are released from the power plants are less denser than most other components that constitute air.
  • Thus, they rise to substantial heights and mix up with the clouds.
  • The water in the clouds reacts with these pollutants to form sulfuric acids and nitric acids which pour down with the rain.

zimovet [89]
Switching a lot of our energy consumption to renewable forms would significantly help the planet because it doesn’t put out pollution or waste, and doesn’t use the resources we are low on like coal or gas. Forms of renewable energy to switch to would be solar energy, wind energy, or hydroelectricity.
