Answer:

The rain containing excess of acids called an acid rain.

Explanation:

The rain becomes acidic because of harmful gases like carbon dioxide,

sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide which are emitted as smoke from

vehicles and industries. These harmful gases dissolve in rain drops to

form carbonic acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively.

Effects of Acid Rain

 Acid rain makes the water of lakes, ponds and rivers too acidic

due to which fish and other aquatic animals get killed.

 Acid rain eats up the leaves of the trees gradually. By losing

leaves, the trees die. Acid rain also damages crop plants in the

fields.

 Acid rain damages the metal structures like steel bridges, etc

when it falls on them.

 Acid rain damages the surfaces of buildings and monuments made

up of marble.

Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.

Explanation:

POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.

From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.

It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.
