Sulfur dioxide is released into the air but ends up in lakes and streams as acid rain. based on your knowledge of the water cycle explain how this happens. hint: start with cloud formation

(First person to answer gets brainliest btw ^^)


Sagot :

As water evapo-transpires into the atmosphere from the biosphere and hydrosphere, it cools and condenses. The water droplets in the atmosphere dissolve the sulfur dioxide molecules in the atmosphere forming sulphuric acid.
The precipitation will, therefore, have a low pH because it is acidic. The runoff from the precipitation end up in rivers and ultimately in lakes.
(i’m sorry i am not sure how to link cloud formation)

it evaporates into the atmosphere and condenses. The water in the atmosphere dissolves the sulphuric acid. It then rains acid rain. The runoff of the acid rain ends up running off into rivers and lakes.
