Acid Rain Acid rain or acid precipitation is the rain, snow, fog hail which has pH levels below 5.6, the average acidity of rain. The pH scale is used to measure the level of acidity by measuring the hydrogen ion concentration, were pH 1 is the strongest acid and pH 14 is the strongest base. Acids and bases of the same amount and strength can neutralise each other. Acid rain is caused by

Acid Rain For hundreds, even thousands of years, human beings have mined for metals and stones, and with the advent of greater technology as well as greater needs, the demands for these resources continue to grow.

The term 'acid rain' is slightly misleading, and would be more accurate if deemed 'enhanced acid rain', as rain occurs acidic naturally. Acidity is measured on what is know as the pH scale.

Acid Rain Acid Rain Humans have impacted the world more than any other species on the planet. By burning fossil fuels in factories, and automobiles acid rain is caused.

Acid Rain Historically regulated by the Clean Air Act, Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) combines with other elements in the atmosphere to form sulfate aerosols that can be inhaled.

Coral Reefs Coral bleaching is the whitening of coral colonies due to the loss of symbiotic zooxanthellae from the tissues of polyps (Guilcher 1988). This loss exposes the white calcium carbonate skeletons of the coral, yet coral naturally lose about 0.1% of their zooxanthellae during regulation and replacement processes. However, adverse changes, such as increased temperatures, diseas
