IB ESS 8.3.6 Acid rain impacts
Practise interpreting acid rain impacts on soils, vegetation, freshwater systems, buildings and health using maps or pollution patterns.
How this is tested
- explain vegetation damage patterns using wind direction, distance from source and acid deposition
- outline soil leaching, foliage damage or freshwater toxicity from low-pH deposition
- link improved air quality to reduced respiratory illness, mortality or ecosystem damage
