Acid RainWhat causes acid rain?

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 RainThe definition

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.

Why is acid rain a problem?

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.

The cycle of acid rain

Climate changeWhat causes climate change?

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.

Climate change Definition

A long-term change in the earth's climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature.

Why is climate change a problem?

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.

Global warmingDefinition: 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.

Global Warming (cant.)

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.
