How sea animals are affected
does acid rain cause fish to form mucus in his gills
yes, The water's acidic molecules cause mucus to form in their gills, preventing the fish to absorb oxygen. Suffocation will occur if the mucus increases.
what man made way created the most acid rain
The biggest sources are coal-burning power plants, factories, and automobiles
Fossil fuels are helping produce acid rain
True or False
True
where did acid rain appear most
North\South\East\West
Massachusetts was ranked as having the highest acidity in the East, at 4.1 on the pH scale
Can acid rain burn your skin?
No it cannot, in very high quantity's, then it will cause reddening and stinging.
does sea water create nitrogen pollution when acid rain hits it.
yes, the acid rain contains nitric acid which has nitrogen and the incorporation of nitrogen in water results in nitrogen pollution. This may result in a decrease in population of fishes and other small aquatic animals.
do cars, trucks, and buses help cause acid rain.
yes, In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants cause acid rain.
Carbon emissions cause acid rain
True or False
True
where recorded did acid rain first occur continent
Acid rain was first identified in North America at Hubbard Brook in the mid-1960s.
Can acid rain ruin metals?
Yes, with rust
can adult fish die from acid rain and if so is it a higher or lower amount of PH
yes they can die from lower PH levels
do the power plants affect
The release of sulfur and nitrogen into the atmosphere by power plants is making seawater more acidic, especially in coastal waters
What is another easy way to help stop acid rain?
using trains or bikes instead of cars
acid rain cant form in mashes
YES\NO
no, The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish
yes, it can turn into snow or fog
can some fish go instinct in specific areas (can fish disappear in some areas)
yes there are some acidic lakes without fish
does fossil fuels produces the same effects as acid rain
Ocean acidification is already a concern because excess carbon dioxide from fossil fuels produces the same effects
How can we stop acid rain in our own home?
By not wasting power
where does acid rain occur most commonly
it occurs most commonly in the North Eastern United States, Eastern Europe and increasingly in parts of China and India.
Can acid rain cause health issues?
Yes
what is the PH of acid rain where some fish eggs cannot Hatch
At a PH of 5 is where some fish eggs cannot hatch
has acid rain always been this bad of have we made it worse
some rain is naturally acidic, with a pH level of around 5.0, human activities have made it worse. Normal precipitation such as rain, sleet, or snow reacts with alkaline chemicals or non-acidic materials, that can be found in air, soils, bedrock, lakes, and streams.
What is a power source that is efficient yet doesn't cause an influence to acid rain?
Wind mills
can acid rain appear all over the world
YES\NO
yes, While acid rain can occur anywhere in the world, it is prevalent in regions that have high industrial activity.
What does the pH level does it have to be to harm fish in water?
6.5 or lower
