Acid Rain- effects on forrests

Acid rain is caused by the burning of coal (sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide) and the combustion of fossil fuels in cars and trucks. Acid rain effects trees by causing damage to the root of the tree. It also causes crown die back, eventually resulting in the tree/forrest being injured or killed. Some solutions include burning less coal and finding alternative energy sources and also having tougher anti pollution laws.

Acid rain

Those trees are killed by acid rain. The Sulphur dioxide from burning coal and Nitrous oxide from using fossil fuel are the main reason causing the acid rain. The acid rain is so strong that makes the trees stop growing and die. People should find other sources instead of using fossil fuel and coal. Government should ban the industries from producing gases which contain sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide.

TORNADO

This particular tornado formed in Kitchener, Waterloo on August 24, 2011. It was classified as a F1 with no deaths or injuries reported.

Acid Rain

Acid rain is precipitation with acids in it. When humans burn fossil fuels, Nitrogen Oxide and Sulphur Dioxide are released and create acid rain. The acid rain makes it hard for trees to get the nutrients they need to survive, so they die. Some solutions would be to burn less fossil fuels, or to find alternative fuel sources.

Acid Rain

Chemicals put into the atmosphere by automobiles and instusdrial and simply by humans. It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure. in this picture it is a statue being eroded by acid rain. it is also harmful to everything.

Acid Rain- effects on trees

Air pollution causes acid rain, when harmful chemicals are burnt and let out into the atmosphere it can result in acid rain. In my image the acid rain has had a negative effect on the forest and the trees. The acid rain has slowed down the growth of the trees, and also caused them to die. The harmful chemicals in the acid rain are believed to slow down or kill trees, the rain falls down into the soil and makes its way into the roots of the trees. The acid rain can dissolve away the nutrients and minerals in the soil which help the tree to grow. We can reduce these effects by burning less fossil fuels, finding alternative sources of energ, and conserving resources.

Acid Rain

Coal burning power plants and combustions of fossil fuels (gasoline) cause acid rain. The image shown beside, the acid rain damaged and killed the trees of this forest. As the roots are damaged from absorbing the acid rain the crowns also die back. Some possible solutions to prevent acid rain is to find alternate energy source such as solar and wind. Or drive less! Anything that can reduce use of gasoline, and less pollution can help little by little.

Acid Rain

Air pollution is the cause of acid rain. The chemicals go up into the air and come down as acid rain. In my picture the acid rain has stunted the growth of the trees and has damaged the bark, and stripped the trees of there leaves. By lowering the amounts of sulfur oxides, and cole and using alternative energy could be solutions to acid rain.

Acid Rain

These trees were killed by Acid Rain. Acid Rain is a form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it posseses elevated levels of hydrogen ions.

Acid Rain

This is a picture of what acid rain has done to stonework over the time period of 1908 to 1968. Acid rain is a mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. It is caused by the compounds of sulpher dioxides and nitrogen oxides releasing into the air. These compounds rise high into the air and mix/react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to create acid rain. Some solutions are to use low sulfer coal, and to use scrubbers which remove 80-90% of the sulfer oxides.

Humans releasing a bunch of different chemicals into the air. This somehow creates acid rain which erodes statues and is harmful to everything.

Acid Rain on Plants.....

Acid rain is created by the combustion of any fossil fuels, which pumps harmful gases, such as nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide and excessive amounts of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. When condensation occurs, these gases condense along with water, creating toxic water droplets, and thus, acid rain. This is a picture of leaves taken to demonstrate the effect acid rain has on plants. Obviously, the one on the lower right is the leaf that has been affected by acid rain. One may think that once the acid rain hits the plant, it creates holes in it, such as shown above. However, the plant must absorb the acid rain from its roots, in order to be affected by the harmful chemicals. Therefore, the roots of trees are also harmed, creating a problem that needs to be addressed at the root. Haha! The solutions to prevent acid rain are simple; stop burning fossil fuels by replacing them with alternative energies, such as, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydrogen. Sadly, it is not so easy, as politicians and corporations are too enveloped in their money- making strategies, ignoring the effects that their blind or maybe just selfish decisions are making.

Acid rain

Acid rain is caused by Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitogen Oxide that react with water moluicles in the atmosphere. This usually occurs in areas with lots of traffic or large factories producing large amounts of gas. Acid rain can ruin ecosystems by adding to much acid into the lakes and streams where most animals cannot live in. It also destroys trees and causes unhealthy effects on human lungs

tornado

This tornado occured in Elie, Manitoba on June 22,2007. This is an F5 tornado that blew cars, and destroyed houses. It destroyed everything in its path and killed 4 people.

acid rain

This is the effects acid rain can have on plants. It can prevent trees from growing or even kill them completely. Acid rain is caused by sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides rising in top the air and combining with the atmosphere. Solutions to preventing more acid rain are: walk or take the bus instead of driving your car and turning all electric devices off when they are not in use.

Acid Rain in Forests

This is a picture of a forest in the Jizera Mountains in the Czech Republic. After lots of analysis, researchers now know that acid rain is the cause of slower growth, injury or death of the forests. Acid Rain does not kill trees directly, instead it weakens them by damaging their leaves or limiting the nutrients available to them. Sometimes even releasing toxic substances to trees and plants such as aluminum into the soil. These substances are washed away in the runoff and are carried into streams and rivers. Death of forests is often the result in the end after an acidic rainfall.

Acid Rain

Acid rain affects the root systems of trees, which makes it difficult for the trees to get the nutrients they need to grow. The trees eventually get 'sick' and die. When we burn fossil fuels, sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide are released into the atmosphere, which is a main cause of acid rain. Burning less fossil fuels is a good place to start trying to lessen the amount of acid rain we get, and so is cleaning coal before burning it.

acid rain

Acid rain is rain water contaminated by chemicals introduced to the atmosphere through insudtrial and automobile emissions. It can damage the enviroment by killing trees. Some solutuions to the problem is to drive less and reduce emissions going into the atmosphere!

this is dope lol

ACID RAIN

Acid Rain is the product of Sulphur Dioxide SO2 (coal burning, powerplants, and from volcanic erruptions) and Nitrous Oxide N2O (industrial processes and combustion from gasoline engines). The chemicals lower the pH in the water, thus making it more acidic. One of the many effects of Acid Rain is the erosion of statues and monuments.

Acid rain can cause limestone statues to disintegrate from chemicals in the rain. These chemicals come from the polution that is expelled from cars and factorys rises into the atmoshpere and combines with clouds forming acid rain.

Statue Damage

Acid rain can cause damage to statues. The chemicals in the rain cause a chemical reaction in the material that the statue is made of causing it to weather. Acid rain is caused by sulfur and other chemicals being released into the atmosphere. We can solve this problem by putting scrubbers in smoke stacks to clean the fuel we are burning.
