In three to five sentences, explain the effects of acid rain on the environment. (4 points)
Acid rain can have harmful effects on the environment by damaging plants, trees, and aquatic life. The acidic nature of rain can cause soil to become more acidic, making it difficult for plants to grow and uptake nutrients. Trees exposed to acid rain can suffer from decreased growth and increased susceptibility to diseases. Acid rain can also decrease the pH of water bodies, making it difficult for some aquatic organisms to survive. Overall, acid rain can have significant negative impacts on ecosystems and the environment.
