What is acid rain?
Rain that contains large amounts of sand and dust
A purely natural phenomenon that does not affect living bei
Precipitation formed by the combination of pollutant gases
Rain that only happens in volcanic regions
Besides human activities, which natural phenomenon can cause acid rain?
Deforestation
Soil erosion
Volcanic eruptions
Heat waves
What happens during a thermal inversion?
Temperatures become the same at all altitudes.
Cold air rises quickly, clearing the atmosphere.
Hot air stays above cold air, stop pollution from dissipatin
Hot air gets trapped below cold air, causing strong winds.
Which of the following is NOT a consequence of thermal inversion?
Increased air pollution.
Formation of smog in cities.
Reduction of respiratory problems in the population.
Increased health risks in urban areas
What are the main human activities that contribute to acid rain?
Fossil fuel burning, power plants, transportation, and oil
Agriculture and fishing.
Solar panel production and wind farms.
Deforestation and plastic production.
How can the chemicals that cause acid rain travel to distant places?
Through rivers and lakes.
Through the movement of animals.
Through air currents.
Through underground water.
What is one environmental effect of acid rain on lakes?
Lakes become larger.
Lakes become warmer.
Lakes dry up completely.
Lakes become acidic, affecting wildlife
What natural conditions contribute to thermal inversion?
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Heavy rain and flooding.
Ocean currents and tides.
Topography and specific weather conditions.
Why does air pollution increase during thermal inversion?
Because the wind carries pollution from other cities.
Because air becomes heavier.
Because the layer of hot air traps pollutants - ground
Because the cold air rises faster than the hot air.
10. Which option correctly describes the normal temperature pattern in the atmosphere (without thermal inversion)?
Temperature stays the same at all levels.
Temperature is higher near the mountains than in the valleys
Temperature decreases as you go higher.
Temperature increases as you go higher.
