  1. When fossil fuels are burned they give off fumes. The main gases are sulfer and nigtrogen oxides. After these gases have been let off ussally from car exahaust they travel to the sky. Here the particles stick to water vapor particles or clouds. When it starts to rain the gases realsed from a car that are now in the sky fall to the ground with rain. Since the rain has a gas in it it is slightly acidc giving it its name acid rain

  2. Acid rain is created when Silfer doixide and Nitrogen oxide become sulfuric acids and nitric acids. The gases then ride into the air after being pur out into the air by power plants and auto exhaust fumes. Together the two gases form a acid solution which falls to the Earth as acid rain.

  3. Fossil Fuels from objects such as cars and factories give off gases into the atmosphere. The gases then mix with the gases in the atmosphere causing a change in the atmosphere. As the gases mix with the water vapor that is soon to become rain, the acid amount in the rain is increased by a lot. This in total causes acid rain, which causes a lot of damage to what we have today.

  4. Acid rain is formed when gases rise into the atmosphere, where they combine with oxygen and water vapor. The sulfur dioxide becomes sulfuric acid, and the nitric oxides become nitric acid. Together, they form an acid solution that falls to earth as acid rain.

  5. acid rain comes from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and petrolium. As the gases go up into the atmosphere they mix with water vapor and oxygen and become aciditic.

  6. Acid rain is formed when oils like petroleum are burned and the gases rise into the atmosphere. The main gases are sulfur and nitrogen oxides. The harmful gases combine with the others in the air and fall as acid rain. This rain can damage stone, paint, and glass.

  7. Acid rain happens when hamful fossil fules rise up into the atmosphere and combine with elements such as vapor and oxygen. Then they turn into acid and fall to earth like rain exsept with a bigger impact.

  8. Acid rain is formed when chemicals such as gas and other fossil fuels rise up and mix with the oxygen and water vapor which makes the rain more acidic. Acid rain can dammage any kind of stone, rock, and other things.

  9. Acid rain is formed when people burn fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and crude oil. as the fumes or gasses from the fuel goes up into the atmosphere and mixes in with water vapor. this process creates acid rain clouds. acid rain clouds consist of sulfuric acids and nitric acids which form acid rain. this rain is lethal to everything it touches.

  10. Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum burn. As these fossil fuels burn, they give off gases such as sulfer dioxide and niitrogen oxides. The gases rise in the atmosphere and combine with water vapor and oxygen. The sulfer dioxide becomes sulfuric acid and the nitrogen oxides become nitric acid. When these acids come together, they form acid rain.

  11. Acid rain is formed by atmospheric pollutants. It originates with the burning of fossil fuels. As the fuels burn they give off gases. The gases combine with oxygen and water vapor and come down as acid rain.
