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.
