Effects Of Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen
3,730 words
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 is the most
basic, seven is the most neutral, and zero is the
most acidic. Pure rain has a pH level of 7, which
is exactly neutral. The acidity of rain is
determined by t...

What is required for a planet to be able to
support life? This is a question that people have
been trying to answer for many years. Earth is a
very unique planet because it is the only one
proven to support life. Living organisms need
certain things in order to survive that are not
found on any other planet. Some of these life
supporting features include food, water,
atmosphere, temperature, rotation, gravity,
surface and a moon. First, living things need a
source of food. Energy is needed in or...

caused the earth to warm by about one degree
Fahrenheit since the late 19 th century. Whether
these activities were essential or superfluous,
the effects on and surrounding Earth are
multitudinous. For example, a warmer Earth could

Many people disagree on the issue concerning
global warming. Some believe that human
activities, various forms of polluting, are the
main cause of global warming. Others think that
not only have humans not affected the planet by
any significant amount, but that not much global
warming has even occurred. Many scientists think
that pollution is the cause of global warming and
the greenhouse effect. There is a lot of evidence
to support this theory. In the United States
