Acid Rain

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of rain or snow that is unusually acidic, meaning that it
contains rain with low potential of hydrogen (pH). It can cause harmful effects on plants, aquatic
animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by the emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and
nitrogen oxide (NO), which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.

Acid rain generally occurs in a big and crowded city, which have industrial areas and a lot of
cars. Combustion of fuels produces sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitric oxide (NO), then they are
converted into sulfuric acid and nitric acid trough some chemical prosesses. When the 2 solutions
oxidize and form clouds, the aqueous from drop in the form of acid cloud droplets. This
phenomena is called acid rain.

Acid rain can cause a higher alumunium concentration in the surface water, which leads to the
death of the fish and making it more difficult to survive. The soil can also turned to be infertile
and affecting sensitive species. Buiding and statues whose made of rocks can get corrotion,
However acid rain does not directly affect human's health.

Although it is not really affect human's health, government still consider the nature and made
some regulations. Some of the regulations are vehicle emissions control and the installation of
pollution control equipment.

RAIN
We are familiar to hear the word “RAIN” in fact almost everything we know
about the rain. Rain is water that comes down from the sky through of
some of the process until the onset of the rains. The rain came at a
certain period of time will cause many negative and a
positive impact for human life and living things.
Now we will explain about the process of the occurrence of rain. The
process of the occurrence of rain is natural gelaja that make up the rotation
of the water on Earth.
When it rained, rain will pass through several stages through the various
processes of the occurrence of rain so
that rain can process running optimally and the rain will come down in a
timely manner so as not to worry the citizens around the world await the
arrival of the rain which is always awaited. The rain has several stages to
become the perfect rain with some process of the occurrence of rain.
The following is the process of the occurrence of rain:
1. Solar thermal (water evaporates)
The Sun is the most natural of the contents. The sun always illuminates the
Earth with the searing heat effect, so that the heat of the Sun can of
water lakes, rivers and the sea evaporated into the air. Aside from the water
of the Lake the river and the sea water evaporates into the air can also be
caused from the human body, animals and other objects containing water.
2. high temperature (water vapour becomes solid – formed clouds)
Temperatures in indonesia included the high temperatures as a result of the
Sun‘s heat will make the water
vapor undergoes condensation (compacting) and a dew. Dew is formed
of small ir points so the higher temperatures make the dots from the
dew more gathered and solidified to form into clouds. According to the
study of Neilburger in 1995, at this stage, drip–drops of water has a size of a
radius of about 5-20 mm. in this size of water droplets will fall with the
speed of 0.01-5 cm/s while the speed of the air flow to the top is much
higher so that the drop of water will not fall to the Earth.
3. With the help of the wind (a small cloud into a large cloud)
The presence of wind from the air which causes a hoot that would help the
clouds are moving to a different place. Wind provides a major influence on
the clouds so that it makes a small cloud ignites and then form larger again
and then moving to the sky or to a place that has a lower temperature. And
the more granules accumulated cloud cloud will change color to become
increasingly gray.
4. rain is Formed
And increasingly cloud after the gray dots as a result of
water getting heavier and not unstoppable again will make the grain-
grain water last fall to earth so that there was rain
