Can someone help me with my research paper? it has to be 5-7 pages long so can someone just help me please leave your email down below or leave a paragraph that i can start the paper off with as an introductionThanks !
The water fowl and other birds in the area that fed on fish and insects no longer have a food source and they are the next to goAs the whole entire food web come toppling down the aquatic ecosystems become quiet; quiet as a graveAcid rain also effects crops and other plant lifeSurprisingly though acid rain can actually help out some crops such as strawberries, corn, and tomatoesOther crops like soybeans can be affected for the worseWhen they are watered with acid rain the size and number of the seeds and pods on the plants can cut in half or be totally wiped out The effects on other terrestrial plant life can be also very destructiveIt accelerates soil weathering and removal of nutrients along with slowing down or stopping plant germination or reproductionThe waxy surface protecting the plants leaves can be altered, drastically lowering the plants disease resistance
Also toxic elements such as aluminum can be made more soluble making the uptake of nutrients of plants much more difficultMany of the trees throughout the world are also greatly affected In the green mountains of Vermont, some scientists think that as much as thirty percent of forests have died in the past twenty years because acid rainAnother large study has been conducted in Northern EuropeIn 1984, for example, reports said that more than half of the trees in Germany’s Black Forests had been severely damaged by acid rainAcid rain has also struck, in a major way, the northeastern past of the U.Sand Canada
Besides for destroying most of our crops, acid rain effects humans in many other ways The air we breathe, when coming in contact with acid deposition, can pollute our lungs as well as the water we drinkWhat is really being done to stop this killer? Industrial emissions have been mainly to blame for the acid rainTo start, industries first took it upon themselves to start further studies on the problem, and because of the cost of pollution our government began to support themIn 1988 the U.S, along with 24 other nations, made a protocol, freezing the rate of nitrogen oxide emissions, as part of United Nations- Sponsored long-range Transboundry Air Pollution AgreementThe 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act of 1967 put in place regulations to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide from power plants to 10 million tons per year by January 1, 2000With our present and future efforts to make our plant life, aquatic ecosystems, and humans safe from this killer, we will hopefully find a way to control or diminish acid rain.
In these instances the chance of a food web being disrupted are more likely to happenWhen the acidity of the water is around the ph level of 6.0 fish cannot lay eggsWhen they can’t reproduce and the acidity level grows then the fish out, and when in lakes are extremely difficult to be replacedAround this acidity level plants also die out and are poisonedInsects no longer have a food source and soon they are gone
The newly transformed acid rain, acid snow or fog, falls to the earth where the effects on aquatic habitats, humans, animals, trees, crops, and other forms of plant life are devastatingWhen acid rain comes in contact with aquatic ecosystems the chemistry of the effects can be extremely complexIf one species or group of species changes or dies out in response to the acid rain, then the whole entire body of water, especially in lakes, is affected through the predator- prey relationship of the food webIn some places where the acid deposition falls, natural substances absorb and neutralize the acid but in most places they build up and the water becomes as sour as lemon juice
