Acid deposition affects certain areas of a country more than others due to

• increased access to adjacent waterways which are heavily polluted by acid deposition.

• greater elevation causing an increase in proximity to the source of acid deposition.

• fewer soil microorganisms that can mobilize nitrogen through the nitrogen cycle.

• decreased limestone in the underlying sediment to neutralize the acid.

Scientists are testing the effect of different scrubber technologies on the removal of pollutants from coal power plants. The scrubbers use a slurry of limestone and water. Which of the following best describes the impact of modifying the slurry by increasing the amount of limestone?

• The amount of sulfur dioxide released will decrease.

• The amount of ground-level ozone released will decrease

• The amount of water released will increase.

• The amount of carbon monoxide released will increase.
