One would tend to think that acid rain would greatly affect trees and plants, this based on the tree's direct contact with the acid rain...	2 / 446
Acid Rain Most rain is naturally acidic because of the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that dissolves with rainwater and forms a weak acid. This kind of acid in the rain is good because it helps dissolves minerals in the soil that both plants and animals need...	1 / 264
