Explain in detail the adverse effects caused by the acid rain.

Explanation

1) Acid rain is harmful for agriculture. It washes away the nutrients required for the growth of plants. So crops cannot grow in the areas where the acid rain falls.
2) Aquatic animals and plants cannot live in acid water. So they die in the lakes, ponds, rivers where acid rain falls.
3) The metal pipes which carry water corrodes in the acid water where the acid rain falls.
4) Acid rain damages buildings and other structures made with stone or metal. Eg. Tajmahal in India has been affected by acid rain.
