Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.

Answer:

Explanation:

The soil is thin and lacks the ability to adequately neutralize the acid in the rain water. As a result, the area is particularly vulnerable and the acid and aluminum can accumulate in the soil, streams, or lakes.

What would most likely happen to plants if they did not have a waxy outer coating?
belka [17]
Plants need this waxy outer coating, also known as a cuticle, for a variety of reasons. The cuticle keeps the important things the plant needs in, such as water and carbon dioxide, and the things the plant doesn't need, such as too much heat, out. It performs a few different functions, including protecting the important cells needed for photosynthesis.
