Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels. When these gases react with water and other compounds in the atmosphere, they form acids that fall to Earth as rain, snow, or other precipitation. Acid rain harms both aquatic environments and forests by making soils and waters acidic. It damages trees and other plants by leaching nutrients from soils and wearing away leaves, and harms aquatic animals by making waters toxic. Preventing acid rain requires reducing fossil fuel combustion through cleaner industry, alternative energy sources, and individual energy conservation efforts.
Acid rain or acid deposition is any kind of precipitation with unusually high acidic components such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall in the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms.This can include rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic.
Acid rain or Acid deposition penetrates deeply into the sensitive fabric of ecosystem, thereby changing the chemistry of air, water, and soil and has huge impact

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. What is Acid Rain?
• Acid rain describes any form of precipitation
with high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. It
can also occur in the form of snow, fog, and
tiny bits of dry material that settle to Earth.
• Unpolluted rain would have a pH value of
between 5 and 6. When the air becomes
more polluted with nitrogen oxides and
sulphur dioxide the acidity can increase to a
pH value of 4. Some rain has even been
recorded as being pH2.
4. How is it caused?
• Rotting vegetation and erupting volcanoes release
some chemicals that can cause acid rain, but most
acid rain falls because of human activities. The
biggest culprit is the burning of fossil fuels by coal-
burning power plants, factories, and automobiles.
• When humans burn fossil fuels, sulfur dioxide (SO2)
and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released into the
atmosphere. These chemical gases react with water,
oxygen, and other substances to form mild solutions
of sulfuric and nitric acid. Winds may spread these
acidic solutions across the atmosphere and over
hundreds of miles. When acid rain reaches Earth, it
flows across the surface in runoff water, enters water
systems, and sinks into the soil.

6. The effects of Acid Rain
• Acid rain can be carried great distances in
the atmosphere, not just between
countries but also from continent to
continent. The rain sometimes falls many
miles from the source of pollution but
wherever it falls it can have a serious
effect on soil, trees, buildings and water.
7. Effects on Aquatic Environment
• Acid rain has many ecological effects, but none is
greater than its impact on lakes, streams,
wetlands, and other aquatic environments. Acid
rain makes waters acidic and causes them to
absorb the aluminum that makes its way from
soil into lakes and streams. This combination
makes waters toxic to crayfish, clams, fish, and
other aquatic animals.
• Some species can tolerate acidic waters better
than others. However, in an interconnected
ecosystem, what impacts some species
eventually impacts many more throughout the
food chain—including non-aquatic species such
as birds.

9. Effects on Forest
• It is thought that acid rain can cause trees to grow
more slowly or even to die but scientists have found
that it is not the only cause. The same amount of acid
rain seems to have more effect in some areas than it
does in others.
• As acid rain falls on a forest it trickles through the
leaves of the trees and runs down into the soil below.
Some of it finds its way into streams and then on into
rivers and lakes. Some types of soil can help to
neutralise the acid - they have what is called a
"buffering capacity".
• Other soils are already slightly acidic and these are
particularly susceptible to the effects of acid rain.
10. • Acid rain can effect trees in several different ways, it
may:
• • dissolve and wash away the nutrients and minerals
in the soil
which help the trees to grow.
• • cause the release of harmful substances such as
aluminium into the soil.
• • wear away the waxy protective coating of leaves,
damaging them
and preventing them from being able to
photosynthesise properly.
• A combination of these effects weakens the trees
which means that they can be more easily attacked by
diseases and insects or injured by bad weather. It is
not just trees that are affected by acid rain, other
plants may also suffer.

13. Effects on Buildings
• Every type of material will become eroded
sooner or later by the effects of the climate.
Water, wind, ice and snow all help in the
erosion process but unfortunately, acid rain
can help to make this natural process even
quicker. Statues, buildings, vehicles, pipes
and cables can all suffer. The worst affected
are things made from limestone or
sandstone as these types of rock are
particularly susceptible and can be affected
by air pollution in gaseous form as well as by
acid rain

15. Preventions
• The only way to fight acid rain is by curbing the
release of the pollutants that cause it. This means
burning fewer fossil fuels. Many governments have
tried to curb emissions by cleaning up industry
smokestacks and promoting alternative fuel sources.
These efforts have met with mixed results. But even
if acid rain could be stopped today, it would still take
many years for its harmful effects to disappear.
• Individuals can also help prevent acid rain by
conserving energy. The less electricity people use in
their homes, the fewer chemicals power plants will
emit. Vehicles are also major fossil fuel users, so
drivers can reduce emissions by using public
transportation, carpooling, biking, or simply walking
wherever possible.
