Acid Rain

Acid rain, a human cause disaster. Made from chemicals being released into the air by factories, and the chemical particles join with water particles and drift around in the atmosphere as clouds till rainfall.

Effects on the land is massive but not as massive as it is on lakes, oceans and rivers. The combinations of the acid rain and the water makes it toxic and puts sea life in danger. Some sea life can tolerate the toxic waters, but most species will be effected even if they can tolerate since the fishes at the bottom of the food can get effected and the fish that eats it they will get affected too. The rain kills plants when the plants soak the rain up. This also kills animals if they drink since its acidic.

New Zealand don't get affect as much as other countries with acid rain is due to most of our power sources are from hydro electricity(use water to produce energy), and most other countries don't use renewable sources of energy.

Similarities to ocean acidification is that sea life is the ones being affected most, another is that it's both caused by man kind itself.

We can resolve this issue by changing from non-renewable energy like burning coal to renewable energy like thermal, hydro and solar power.
