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