Question

Which human activity contributes to the formation of acid rain

Answer 1

When fossil fuels are burned, they release pollutants into the atmosphere, including sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

These pollutants can react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO3), which are major components of acid rain.
