Acid Rain is mainly caused by what?
What is the burning of fossil fuels
100
This is what makes acid rain dangerous to soil and water
What is decreases the PH level
100
We can use these powers to generate electricity other than fossil fuels
What are nuclear power, hydropower, wind energy, geothermal energy, and solar energy
100
True or false: You shouldn't turn off lights, computers, or appliances because these will not cause acid rain
What is false. Burning electricity uses lots of carbon dioxide which can lead to acid rain. You should always turn off electrical appliances when not using them
200
These two chemicals result in the creation of acid rain
What is sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
200
Acid rain can effect human beings by causing this?
What is bronchitis and severe asthma attacks
200
This can be used to cancel out the acidity in lakes and streams
What is limestone
200
These are other alternate fuels we can use that would be less destructive to the environment
What are ethanol, propane, and natural gas
300
Acid rain is created when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with what?
What is water, oxygen, and other chemicals
300
These damages are caused by acid rain in large industralized areas
What are damages to statues, buildings, and car finishes
300
What should we clean to remove sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions that cause acid rain
What is clean up smokestacks and exhaust pipes
300
This is why you should not burn outside fires that often. Hint: It's what is created
What is the creation of carbon monoxide
400
Other then factories what else can cause acid rain ?
What are vehicles that burn gasoline or diesel exhaust
400
Acidic precipitation can damage forests by leaking this substance into the soil and robbing it of nutrients
What is Aluminum
400
True or false: Car pulling uses less carbon monoxide than actual driving
What is true. This reduces the amount of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide from entering the atmosphere
400
You can do these things to reduce the amount of gas you use in your car
What are don't speed, slightly accelerate, and don't slam on the brake
500
True or false: Acid rain is only caused by human causes
What is false. Acid rain can also be caused by natural causes like volcanic eruptions, bacterial decomposition, and lightning
500
These two elements get leached into bodies of water from acid rain causing plankton and fish populations to die
What are mercury and aluminium
500
Planting a tree is a great way to get more of this in our atmosphere to cancel out pollution
What is Oxygen
500
This kind of power is much more efficient then using vehicles because it does not produce carbon monoxide
What is manpower
