What is the meaning of acid rain? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Pollution gases in the air such as:
- Sulfur dioxide
- Nitrogen oxide
combine with water in the air to produce:
- Sulphuric Acid
- Nitric Acid
These acids come down as acid rain. Acid is corrosive, even to metals, so the rain corrodes anything it falls on- like your car!
