Acid Rain

To stimulate the effect of acid rain on plant life, students to set up a lab experiment to compare the effect of varying levels of acidity on plant seed germination. Hypothesis: as the pH of water decreases, the number of seeds germinated will reduce. Variables Units: Dependent variables The number of seeds germinated Independent variables…

Introduction Acid rain refers to a phenomenon in which “[precipitation] from the atmosphere [contains] higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids”. The precipitation that results in acid rain comes from the pollution emitted by human activities, such as factories, electrical power plants and automobiles. Two main pollutants are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen…

People can be harmed by reheating in toxins, chemicals, and pollutants, from either dry deposits of this acid rain, or chemicals can be released through vapor/liquid form. This can range from causing chest illnesses, breathing problems, birth defects, and other unusual diseases more and more commonly being revealed as time progresses. Some birth defects include,…

The damaging effects of acid rain on society is becoming overwhelmed with great amounts of pollution from cars, factories and an large amounts of garbage. The immense amounts of sulphur dioxide put into the air causes high levels of acid in the atmosphere. When this sulphuric acid is absorbed into moisture in the air, then…

INTRODUCTION Acid rain is a great problem in our world. It causes fish and plants to die in our waters. As well it causes harm to our own race as well, because we eat these fish, drink this water and eat these plants. It is a problem that we must all face together and try…

Acid Rain Acid rain is a serious problem with disastrous effects. Each day this serious problem increases, many people believe that this issue is too small to deal with right now this issue should be met head on and solved before it is too late. In the following paragraphs I will be discussing the impact…

For years ever since most of the world has been industrialized, the effects of pollution have plagued nations alike. Acid rain is one of the largest contributors to this industrialized form of pollution. Throughout this report an explanation of the devastating effects to the environment caused by acid rain will be given along with what…

What is acid rain? Acid rain is the term for pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides combine with atmospheric moisture. The term ‘acid rain’ is slightly misleading, and would be more accurate if deemed ‘enhanced acid rain’, as rain occurs acidic naturally. Acidity is measured on what is know as the pH scale. Fourteen…

Our environment has been suffering from many problems that have plaguedearth for years. These problems cannot be ignored or it might havecatastrophic results on our environment. Acid rain is a wide spread termused to describe all forms of acid precipitation, rain snow and dust. Acidrain is a serious problem with disastrous effects and this problem…

This document describes how to write a process description, a variation of the short report designed to convey to the reader how a change takes place through a series of stages. The process description examines an event over time; by contrast, the mechanism description focuses on an object in space. Use a process description when…
