Question

Which of the following monuments are affected by acid rain?

• A. The Taj Mahal
• B. Colosseum of Rome
• C. The Leaning Tower of Pisa
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Acid rain refers to how acid from the atmosphere is deposited on the earth’s surface. Oxides of nitrogen and acidic sulfur can be blown by the wind along with solid particles in the atmosphere and finally settle down either on the ground as dry deposition or in water, fog and snow as a wet deposition. The Taj Mahal in India, Colosseum of Rome, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa all have been affected by acid rain.
