Acid Rain in Canada Quiz

Formation of acid rain: What are the primary gases that contribute to the formation of acid rain?

• Carbon monoxide and methane

• Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)

• Hydrogen and carbon dioxide

• Oxygen and helium

Formation of acid rain: Explain the process of how sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with water vapor to form acid rain.

• Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain.

• Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with carbon dioxide to form acid rain.

• The process of acid rain formation involves the combination of water vapor with methane and ammonia.

• Acid rain is formed when water vapor reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere.

Formation of acid rain: What role does sunlight play in the formation of acid rain?

• Sunlight increases the rate of chemical reactions that produce pollutants

• Sunlight has no effect on the formation of acid rain

• Sunlight causes the pollutants to be neutralized

• Sunlight decreases the rate of chemical reactions that produce pollutants

Formation of acid rain: How does acid rain differ from normal rain in terms of pH level?

• Acid rain has a neutral pH level

• Acid rain has a lower pH level

• Acid rain has a higher pH level

• Acid rain has the same pH level as normal rain

Sources of pollutants in Canada: What are the major sources of sulfur dioxide emissions in Canada?

• Agricultural practices and organic farming

• Solar and wind energy

• Industrial processes and burning of fossil fuels

• Bicycle riding and public transportation

Sources of pollutants in Canada: Describe the impact of industrial activities on the release of nitrogen oxides in Canada.

• Agricultural activities such as farming and livestock

• Residential activities such as cooking and heating

• Industrial activities such as manufacturing, transportation, and energy production

• Natural sources such as volcanoes and wildfires

Sources of pollutants in Canada: How do transportation emissions contribute to the pollutants that cause acid rain in Canada?

• Transportation emissions release nitrogen and phosphorus

• Transportation emissions release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

• Transportation emissions release oxygen and water vapor

• Transportation emissions release carbon dioxide and methane

Impact of acid rain on ecosystems: How does acid rain affect the pH level of soil and water bodies?

• Causes the pH level to fluctuate

• Has no effect on the pH level

• Raises the pH level

• Lowers the pH level

Impact of acid rain on ecosystems: Explain the impact of acid rain on aquatic life in Canada.

• Acid rain only affects terrestrial ecosystems, not aquatic life

• Acid rain can increase the pH of lakes and rivers, benefiting aquatic life

• Acid rain can lower the pH of lakes and rivers, which can harm aquatic life such as fish, insects, and amphibians.

• Acid rain has no impact on aquatic life in Canada

Impact of acid rain on ecosystems: Describe the effect of acid rain on forests and vegetation in Canada.

• It can improve the health of forests and vegetation by providing essential nutrients

• It can damage forests and vegetation by leaching nutrients from the soil, weakening trees and making them more susceptible to disease and harsh weather.

• It can lead to increased biodiversity and growth of vegetation in Canada

• It has no impact on forests and vegetation in Canada
