Acid Rain

Acid Rain Cars burn petrol, factories and power stations burn coal and emit toxic fumes. The air becomes polluted. This pollution is gathered in clouds and with the oxygen and water in the atmosphere it becomes acid. The wind carry the polluted clouds across long distances where it rains.

Acid Rain 2) What causes it? Toxic fumes gather in polluted clouds and become acid in the atmosphere.

Acid Rain 3) What effects does it have? It falls into lakes, streams, rivers and seas and they become toxic. So, it kills, harms and wipes out fish and plant species. It poisons trees and plants. It also causes serious damage to buildings and other objects.
