Acid rain


Acid rain is made when coal with lots of sulfur oxide is burned. Then the sulfur oxide goes into the air and mixes with nitrogen oxide and water vapor to create acid rain! The issue is that the acid rain can damage statues and buildings and make ponds and lakes uninhabitable. It can also kill trees. What we can do is burn less fossil fuels and use Eco-friendly fuel sources!
