Practice AP Environmental Science questions on acid deposition, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, motor vehicles, and coal power plants.
Respond to parts A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
Acid rain is another air pollutant linked to motor vehicles. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the number of people working from home, so fewer people are commuting to work in their personal vehicles.
Explain how a decrease in the number of people commuting to work in their personal vehicles could lead to a reduction in acid rain.
Examples of acceptable responses may include the following:
- (A decrease in commuting) would result in lower nitrogen oxide/sulfur oxide emissions from cars/vehicles.
- (A decrease in commuting) would lead to less nitric acid/sulfuric acid in the atmosphere.
