Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Acid Rain Harms Forests Acid rain can be extremely harmful to forests. Acid rain that seeps into the ground can dissolve nutrients, such as magnesium and calcium, that trees need to be healthy. Acid rain also causes aluminum to be released into the soil, which makes it difficult for trees to take up water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Effects of Acid Rain on Plants and Trees Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain. Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals. Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -It has been shown that acid rain has detrimental effects on trees, freshwaters and soils, destroys insects and aquatic life-forms, causes paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and sculptures, as well as impacts on human health.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ans: Acid rain and fog both harm forests, particularly those at higher elevations. Acid deposits deplete the soil of essential nutrients such as calcium and cause aluminium to be released into the soil, making it difficult for trees to absorb water. Acids also harm the leaves and needles of trees.
