Chapter 8, Problem 47R

To determine

The effect of the loss of the trees due to acid precipitation on the environment.

Answer to Problem 47R

The level of the carbon dioxide increase and the level of the oxygen decreases due to the loss of the trees in the environment.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The oxides of the Sulphur produce acid by combining with the moisture in the environment. When this acid falls in the firm of precipitation then it is called acid precipitation.

The trees destroy due to the acid precipitation. The destruction of the trees cause the increase in the level of the carbon dioxide and decrease in the level of the oxygen. Due to the deforestation the potential of the flood raises and the nutrients from the upper surface of the soil run-off.

Conclusion:

Thus, the level of the carbon dioxide increase and the level of the oxygen decreases due to the loss of the trees in the environment.
