= //What is acid rain**?**// = === **Acid R**ain- A broad term used to describe several ways that acid falls out of the atmosphere. Also known as //acid deposition,// which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. It affects a variety of plants and animals. The strenght of the effects depend on many factors, including how acidic the water is, the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved, and the types of fish, trees, and other living things that rely on the water. === [|what causes acid rain]

==== ﻿ Acid rain effects 38% of the chinese cities. The main city where acid rain occurs is Beijing, Shanghai as well as Guangzhou, Shanzhen, and Hong Kong. The chinese people rely on coal on thier main source of energy consumption. Acid rain is a major concern in China, particularly in the southern and east parts. The reason why acid rain isnt as bad over the northern parts of china is because the high proportion of carbonates in the dust clouds act to neutralise the SO 2 emissions in the area. ====

Chart on acid rain!!

 * The causes of acid rain are releaseding different kinds of chemicals into the air, //**sulfur doixide and nitrous oxide,**// that they have changed te mix of gases in the atmosphere.Other causes of aicd rain is the reactions of the Environment. Power plants gives off most of these chemicals into the air. Cars, trucks, and buses also release these chemicals, and it forms acidic rain.

 * = The process of ACID RAIN.First cars and factories makes smoke that form in to sulfur dioxide.After Sulfur Dioxide goes to the clouds it turns to H ﻿2 SO ﻿4 that means Sulfuric //Acid.After Sulfuric acid is in the clouds it rain and it lets goes of the Acid Rain.// =
