Meteorology Acid depositionAcid rain

Acid precipitation Rain or snow containing acidic substances, resulting from the atmospheric pollution mainly with sulfur and nitrogen. A pH value of acid precipitation is less than the value for unpolluted rain.

 


Acid Precipitation - Rain or snow with a pH value that is less than the value for uncontaminated rain.

Acid Precipitation- Rain or snow with a pH value of less than 5.6.
Adibiatic Temperature Change- A cooling or heating of the air caused by expansion of contraction of air molecules, as opposed to the gain or loss of heat.

Acid Precipitation
Precipitation, such as rain, snow or sleet, containing relatively high concentrations of acid-forming chemicals that have been released into the atmosphere and combined with water vapor; harmful to the environment.

Acid Precipitation Atmospheric precipitation with a pH less than 5.6. Normal pH of precipitation is 5.6.
