Diagram of acid rain process

Diagram of acid rain process NmWgW

This diagram illustrates the stages in the process of acid rain formation and the effects this can have on the environment. Generally, it can be seen that the combination of natural and man-made elements are responsible for acid rain. The cycle begins with the emission of gases and other particles from different sources such as volcanoes, industrial factories, and motor vehicle exhausts. When they are released into the air, some of these gases such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can react in different ways to produce acids. Some of these acids return directly back to the ground as dry deposits. At other times, the acids can combine with clouds and are then carried by the prevailing winds until they finally fall back to earth as acids rain or wet deposits. Eventually, both these processes end with the acids being deposited into waterways, such as rivers and lakes, and onto vegetation. The final result is that vegetation and water are poisoned and the whole environment is damaged.
