Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.
Detailed explanation-2: -NO2 and other NOx interact with water, oxygen and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form acid rain. Acid rain harms sensitive ecosystems such as lakes and forests.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acid rain is caused by large scale emission of nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and other pollutants from thermal power plants, industries and automobiles.
