What is acid rain?
Precipitation formed by the combination of pollutant gases
Rain that only happens in volcanic regions
Rain that contains large amounts of sand and dust
A purely natural phenomenon that does not affect living bei
Besides human activities, which natural phenomenon can cause acid rain?
Heat waves
Volcanic eruptions
Soil erosion
Deforestation
What happens during a thermal inversion?
Cold air rises quickly, clearing the atmosphere.
Temperatures become the same at all altitudes.
Hot air gets trapped below cold air, causing strong winds.
Hot air stays above cold air, stop pollution from dissipatin
Which of the following is NOT a consequence of thermal inversion?
Reduction of respiratory problems in the population.
Formation of smog in cities.
Increased health risks in urban areas
Increased air pollution.
What are the main human activities that contribute to acid rain?
Deforestation and plastic production.
Fossil fuel burning, power plants, transportation, and oil
Agriculture and fishing.
Solar panel production and wind farms.
How can the chemicals that cause acid rain travel to distant places?
Through underground water.
Through air currents.
Through rivers and lakes.
Through the movement of animals.
What is one environmental effect of acid rain on lakes?
Lakes become warmer.
Lakes dry up completely.
Lakes become larger.
Lakes become acidic, affecting wildlife
What natural conditions contribute to thermal inversion?
Ocean currents and tides.
Topography and specific weather conditions.
Heavy rain and flooding.
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Why does air pollution increase during thermal inversion?
Because the layer of hot air traps pollutants - ground
Because air becomes heavier.
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 stays the same at all levels.
Temperature decreases as you go higher.
Temperature increases as you go higher.
Temperature is higher near the mountains than in the valleys
