Both natural vegetation and crops are affected by acid rain. The roots are damaged by acidic rainfall, causing the growth of the plant to be stunted, or even cause the death of them. Nutrients present in the soil, are destroyed by the acidity. The rain, falling on the plants damages the waxy layer on the leaves and makes the plant vulnerable to disease. It doesnt gain alot of nutrients so it is hard from them to grow. This is a place to share your learnings in Geography 12 with other students. You will be required to make at least one post each week. You will be evaluated on your posts so demonstrate geographic vocabulary, knowledge, and thinking. Take it seriously but have fun with it too!
