Answer 1

Acid rain has several negative effects on the environment. It can lead to the acidification of soil and water bodies, which can harm plants, fish, and other aquatic organisms. It can also damage buildings, statues, and other infrastructure made of stone or metal. Acid rain can also contribute to the depletion of essential nutrients in soil, hindering plant growth, and affecting crop yields. Additionally, it can increase the release of toxic substances from the soil, posing a threat to human health as well.
