ACIDS AND BASES

OPPOSITES THAT NEUTRALIZE

Effects of acid rain in the world.

Aquatic settings are the most clearly impacted by acid deposition though because acidic precipitation falls directly into them. Both dry and wet deposition also runs off of forests, fields, and roads and flows into lakes, rivers, and streams. Aside from aquatic bodies, acid deposition can significantly impact forests. As acid rain falls on trees, it can make them lose their leaves, damage their bark, and stunt their growth. By damaging these parts of the tree, it makes them vulnerable to disease, extreme weather, and insects. also has an impact on architecture and art because of its ability to corrode certain materials. As acid lands on buildings (especially those constructed with limestone) it reacts with minerals in the stones sometimes causing it to disintegrate and wash away.

OPINION AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF THIS PHENOMENON

Acid rain, is a problem that affects everyone, but we are the main cause of this phenomenon, because of our contamination, we need to avoid contaminating, we need to avoid those fossil fuels, we need to make a kind of law, that would indicate about what not to do in order to avoid more problems, because maybe in few years, the Earth will be in huge problems.

In Mexico, several studies have been completed to assess the effects of acid rain on ecosystems, particularly on the forests adjacent to the Valley of Mexico Metropolitan Zone, also pollution is threatening to erase thousand-year-old stone carvings at one of Mexico's most important archaeological sites.
