Question

What are the effects of acid rain ?

Answer 1

The effects of acid rain:

(1) The most basic microscopic organisms such as plankton may not be able to survive. So the sea animals, depending on planktons will die and the food chain will be affected.

(2) If ocean temperature increases, the growth of coral reefs will be affected. The corals control the proportion of carbon dioxide by turning CO2 in the

water to limestone shell. Moreover, coral reefs grows in temperature just

above 10° Celsius.

(3) Other ecosystems such as forests and desert will also be harmed. Loss of

biodiversity and the extinction of rare species will occur.

(4) They also change the acidity level of the soil by leaching crucial nutrients. Thus it affects forest vegetation.
