Which pair of air pollutants reacts in the atmosphere to produce the acids in acid deposition?
When a coal-burning power plant emits a major acid-deposition precursor, which pollutant is it most likely releasing?
Exhaust from cars and trucks contributes to acid deposition primarily by releasing which precursor?
After SO₂ and NOₓ enter moist air, what atmospheric change creates the acidic compounds that later deposit?
A monitoring station detects increased sulfuric acid in precipitation downwind of a power plant. Which emitted gas was the most direct precursor?
A city reduces NOₓ emissions from vehicles. Which acid-deposition component should decrease most directly?
Why is the term acid deposition broader than the term acid rain?
A utility installs a flue-gas scrubber on a coal-fired power plant. Which acid-deposition precursor is this technology designed to reduce?
Some power plants built very tall smokestacks to reduce local air pollution. What effect did this have on acid deposition?
Why can acid deposition become an interstate or international pollution problem?
Power plants in the Midwest emit SO₂, and sulfate deposition is measured in the Northeast. Which process links the source and receptor regions?
Put the major acid-deposition pathway in the correct order.
Acidic gases and particles settle directly onto a forest canopy without any rain, snow, or fog. What type of deposition is occurring?
Snowfall in a remote mountain watershed contains nitric and sulfuric acids. Which sequence most plausibly produced it?
A factory cuts its emissions, yet downwind lakes stay acidic for years. What best explains the slow recovery?
Why might dry deposition damage a building far from the smokestacks that emitted the pollutants?
Acidic water percolates through a forest soil. Which change can carry a toxic metal into a nearby stream?
A lake's pH falls to 5 after repeated acidic inputs. Which biological effect is especially likely?
At high elevation, acidic clouds strip nutrients from conifer needles. What is the likely result for the trees?
Why can acid deposition visibly erode a limestone statue or marble building?
Soil exposed to chronic acid deposition loses calcium, potassium, and magnesium. How does this threaten forest health?
After rapid snowmelt, a normally healthy stream has a short-lived drop in pH. What is this event called?
Aluminum leached from acidified soil enters a stream. How does the dissolved aluminum most directly harm fish?
A forest soil has reduced calcium and elevated aluminum after years of acid deposition. What is a likely effect on its trees?
Why can a decline in acid-sensitive mayflies affect frogs in an acidified lake ecosystem?
Why can the fish population in an acidified lake decline even when adult fish tolerate the lower pH?
Two lakes receive equal acid deposition. One watershed is underlain by limestone and the other by granite. Which lake is better buffered?
What does a lake's acid-neutralizing capacity (ANC) measure?
Why are thin soils over slowly weathering bedrock especially vulnerable to acid deposition?
A watershed has high concentrations of calcium carbonate in its bedrock. What will most likely happen to acidic water moving through it?
