Answer 2

Answer:

Acid rain adversely affects the environment in different ways. It affects the buildings, animals, human beings and plants. Acid rain is a non point source which is a result of burning of fossil fuels in the environment. The nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides that is released from the environment gets dissolve with water an leads to acid rain. This rain travels from one place to another by the effect of wind.
