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.
