Solution
Acid rain
- The gases react with the water vapor to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid in the atmosphere and these come down with the rain, making the rain acidic. This is called acid rain.
- Acid rain corrodes the marbles of the monuments because acid rain etches out calcium carbonate.
- Acid rain is caused by the emissions of harmful gases such as Sulphur dioxide, Nitrogen oxides, and Hydrogen chloride by thermal power stations, industries, and automobiles
Final answer
Thermal power plant is mainly responsible for the formation of acid rain.
