ACID RAIN IS A RAIN OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PRECIPITATION

THAT IS UNUSUALLY ACIDIC, MEANING THAT IT POSSESSES

ELEVATED LEVELS OF HYDROGEN IONS (LOW PH). IT CAN HAVE

HARMFUL EFFECTS ON PLANTS, AQUATIC ANIMALS, AND

INFRASTRUCTURE. ACID RAIN IS CAUSED BY EMISSIONS OF SULFUR DIOXIDE AND NITROGEN OXIDES, WHICH REACT WITH THE WATER

How can we save the plants?

First we have to take care of our water so

the plants can grow well.

Another thing is to stop stepping on them

because then they could not grow any more.

STOP THE TORTURE OF INNOCENT

PLANTS!

Laboratory plants never have a nice day.

They never feel the sun or the rain or the

wind. They never sink their roots into the

earth. And many of them end their lives in a

laboratory blender. This senseless brutality

must be stopped!

The Plant Liberation Front demands an end

to taxonomism, an end to discrimination on

the basis of phyletic origin. We demand an

extension of the Constitutional right of due

process to all forms of life: No organism

shall be deprived of life, liberty, or habitat

without due process of law.

Save the plants Save the plants!

Acid Rain

Science Fair

What effect does acid rain

have on the forests of the

world ?

Trees are also harmed by acid rain. In

Germany, the forests are believed to be dying

because acid rain is harming them. Scientists

say that acid rain damages the waxy outer

coating that protects the leaves. When this

happens, it allows the acid to seep into the

tree. Instead of water changing from a liquid

to a gas inside the leaves, gas is taking the

place of the water. This prevents the plant

from taking in carbon dioxide to perform

photosynthesis, and the plant will eventually

die. Acid rain, acid fog, and acid vapor also

damage forests Acid rain also harms the soil

that the trees are growing in by taking most

of the valuable nutrients away from the soil.

Acid rain also leaves a lot of aluminum in

the soil, which can be harmful to the trees

that grow there. The atmosphere deposits a

lot of toxic metals into the forests because

acid rain contains metal. Some of these

metals are lead, zinc, copper, chromium, and

aluminum.

What is going to happened? We are

going to see how to know to take care

of the enviroment. We are going to see

how a plant grows with cloean water

and another with acid water.

Conclusions: to take care of our plants

and help the world!

Stop the harm

When there is acid rain, the rain releases these metals. This is believed to stunt the growth of many trees and plants. This also stunts the growth of mosses, algae, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and fungi that are needed to help the forest grow. Forests need these because they eat the harmful things that will kill the trees, such as bad bacteria. Acid rain hurts trees because they cannot grow any more.

My experiment is about how to take care of our

environment. plants,tres,ect.We are going to

demonstrate how the plants grow when we don’t take

care of them.
