Acid Rain - Bernie Madow

      For this blog post I have decide to write about Acid Rain. Acid rain is a form of precipitation that has some acidic substance in it. A example of this would be a heavily polluted lake that evaporates and then condenses back into a cloud and then it moves over land and rains this acidic water back down to earth. Acid rain is harmful to the environment as it can kill plants and other vegetation.
    One thing I learned while researching this is that acid rain doesn't have to be rain. It can be any form of precipitation like snow or hail. It just has to be something that is acidic. I did already know that acid rain is caused by pollution but I was surprised that it could be from pollution in the air too not just polluted water.
       This topic can be used outside of biology in many ways because it is so import to everyones daily lives. If acid rain happens too often it will kill plants and can be harmful for animals to drink and if that happened it would affect all life on earth.
      I though this was a very interesting topic and I enjoyed researching it and I believe it is a very important topic because of all the real world affects it can have.
