Acid rain is caused by many different
things. Human activities, such as the
emission of greenhouse gases, or maybe by
processes in oceans , tectonics , volcanoes
or solar radiation. Global warming ,
which is connected to climate change, has
been observed for several years.
Acid rain means precipitation, as rain,
snow, or sleet, containing relatively high
concentrations of acid-forming chemicals,
as the pollutants from coal smoke,
chemical manufacturing, and smelting.
Acid rain contains nitrogen and sulfur
oxides.
Acid rain can cause buildings, statues and
bridges to deteriorate faster than usual.
Which means the get worse in shape quicker.
Acid rain also kills wild life and affects
lakes and streams. Also, damages soil , it
harms people because they breathe in the toxins
of the acid rain.
Climate reacts to whatever forces it to
change. Scientists say humans are a
dominant force. When our plants suffers
an energy imbalance and gains or loses
heat it causes global temps. to change.
This is the most serious problem we have
to deal with in the 21st century.
A long-term change in the earth's
climate, especially a change due to an
increase in the average atmospheric
temperature.
A few degrees increase in the
Earth’s temperature can cause
droughts and crop failures,
ecosystem imbalances , as well as
melting ice caps causing sea levels
to rise above usual.
Definition: A increase in the Earth’s average atmospheric.
Cause: the spread of methane gases from arctic tundra and
wetlands. Also, droughts
Future Effects: The melting of ice will cause sea levels to
rise and would be a problem for lowland lands like
Florida.
Resolution: Canada has passed laws to
limit the amount of burning fossil
fuels. Also the U.S has funded
research for new energy sources that
will be less harmful the people and the
environment.
