Sulfuric acid is the acid component in acid rain. Sulfur is released into the atmosphere by the burning of coal and some types petroleum oil. Over 160 million tons per year is made (through an industrial process) because it is a vital commodity to the chemical industry. A link is posted to the Wikipedia article where more details can be mined.

add. But as it is easily evaporated, it is not uncommon in geothermal areas, where it is bought to the surface along with superheated steam, and the Sulfur then crystallized out.

∙ 9y agoPure sulfuric acid is not encountered naturally on Earth in anhydrous form, due to its great affinity for water. Dilute sulfuric acid is a constituent of acid rain, which is formed by atmospheric oxidation of sulfur dioxide in the presence of water . Sulfur dioxide is the main byproduct produced when sulfur-containing fuels such as coal or oil are burned.Sulfuric acid is formed naturally by the oxidation of sulfide minerals, such as iron sulfide. The resulting water can be highly acidic and is called acid mine drainage (AMD) or acid rock drainage (ARD).

Earth's primordial atmosphere most likely included?
Carbon dioxide, water vapor, sulfur dioxide, and methane.
Is sulfur dioxide the same as sulfite?
No, sulfur dioxide is a gas with the formula SO2 Sulfite is an ion with the formula (SO32-). It occurs along side some sort of positive ion to balance its negative charge. These compounds, called sulfites, can form when sulfur dioxide, an acidic oxide, reacts with basic oxides. Most metal oxides are basic.
Where is coal most commonly found?
Coal is most commonly found under the earth in coal mines.Coal is most commonly found under the earth in coal mines.coal is located mostly onder the plains
Is it safe to use sulfur dioxide used food?
Some foods are treated with sulfur dioxide as a preservative measure. It's not done as much as it once was, and for most people it doesn't appear to cause much of a problem... though a few people do seem to be allergic.
What sulfur in a pure element state is most often found near active?
Volcanoes
How are a sulfur molecule and a sulphur dioxide molecule similar?
Both contain sulphur atoms. Elemntal sulfur is most commonly found as S8, a ring molecule, wheras sulfur dioxide, SO2, is a gas.
What gas is found in magma?
Magma contains a variety of gasses, the most common of which are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
What is Manganese2 and Sulfur3?
Manganese(II) is a chemical compound where manganese has a +2 oxidation state. It is an important nutrient for various biological processes and is commonly found in foods and supplements. Sulfur(III) is not a commonly encountered oxidation state of sulfur in chemical compounds. The most common oxidation states of sulfur are -2, +4, and +6. It is important in many biological processes and is present in various compounds, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
Which country produced the most sulfur dioxide?
China
Why can sulfur dioxide be considered an anti-oxidant?
Sulfur dioxide can protect drinks (the most important example is wines), foods etc. from oxidation.
Where is sulfur most commonly found?
Sulfur (sometimes spelled as sulphur, although this is not correct by current IUPAC rules) is commonly found near natural hot springs or near volcanoes. It's also found in the combined form in many minerals, such as pyrite and galena.
What are the ten gases?
Most common gas pollutants: Carbon dioxide Carbon monoxide Nitrogen dioxide Nitrogen monoxide Dinitrogen monoxide Sulfur dioxide Sulfur trioxide ChloroFluoroCarbons Methane Ammonia
