Acid rain is a type of rain or any other form of precipitation that has an unusual level of acidity

Which means it has a high level of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can cause harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which interact with water molecules in the atmosphere and create acids. Since the 1970s, governments have made efforts to lower the level of sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere, achieving positive results. Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightning strikes while sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions. Chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to be removed, corrosion of steel structures on bridges and erosion of stone statues.
 Formation of acid rain

Creating acid rain

Due to the release of acidic gases into the atmosphere and their solubility in raindrops, it then collapses into such acidic soil. In normal rain conditions there is a small amount of acidity. This rate depends on the amount of CO2 dissolved in it, as well as small amounts of chlorine. By standards the acidity should be pH = 5.0. Before the industrial revolution it was 5-6, and now it has grown. Acrylic acid is formed by the reaction:
H2O (l) + CO2 (g)  H2CO3 (aq)
Subsequently carbonic acid can be ionized in water forming low concentrations of hydron and carbonate ions:
H2O (l) + H2CO3 (aq)  HCO3− (aq) + H3O + (aq)
Acid deposits in the environment may also include acids other than H2CO3 acid.

Do you know how the world was created?

The Indigenous people of Australia told a story of how everything on Earth was asleep. The Father of All Souls was the only one who had awakened and awakened Mother Sun. He commanded him to come down and give life to all forms of Earth, plants, insects, caves and everything else. The Father of All Souls was pleased with the work of Mother Sun. Later, this gave birth to two children, the Breakfast Star and the Moon. These were born children who would later become the offspring of mankind. The legend of Heliopolis This legend comes from ancient Egypt. He says that in the beginning, there was only one chaotic water called the Nun. The sun god Ra appeared from a lotus flower and gave light to the Universe. Ra created Shu, the god of the air, and Tefnut, the goddess of tame. These two gave birth to the goddess of heaven Nut and the god of Earth, Geb. From them the physical world took shape. The legend of the Maya In the Mayan culture, Tepe the creator and Gucumatzi, the feathered soul, cr...

This is the secret of the orientation of a traveling pigeon

Traveling pigeons have long served as long-distance secret messenger senders. Traveling pigeons were later replaced by other messaging tools, such as telex, telegram, and in the new era of telephone and internet. Pigeons have been sending messages, mostly messages written over very long distances, from one state to another. But how is it possible for a bird to know the correct orientation and find the address? The dove can fly without resting about 1000 km. It is not programmed like today's GPS through classic orientation. In whatever country you leave a pigeon it will still be reoriented to find the home, or just its owner. The main orientation of a pigeon is the sun, while its orientation becomes more difficult when there is no sun. Another important orientation is the magnetic fields. If you put a dove in a small iron and wooden lodge, the orientation will be easier when in the wooden house. It is assumed, according to some studies of American scientists, that the brain of a p...

Is the tattoo haram?

Answer: Praise be to Allah alone, praise and peace be upon Muhammad ... The tattoo is a permanent mark or drawing on the skin that is injected through the needles under the superficial layer of skin. Most often, "tattoo artists" use a hand machine that acts like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin continuously. With each puncture, the needles release color. The health damages he can cause are many, such as allergic reactions, various skin infections and blood diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV, the AIDS-causing virus (AIDS). However, even if it were not the cause of those diseases, the tattoo is haram because it changes and interferes with the creation of Allah, who gave man the most beautiful form. Although tattooing is a growing fad, it is a primitive act that people have done in ancient times, while Islam forbade it from this ugly and not flattering act (in my opinion), hence the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sall...
