Acid rain is man made and there is more types of acid. Normal rainwater is dissolving Carbon Dioxide as it falls through the sky. When a volcano erupts actually slightly acidic with a pH of just over 6. This is due to the rain it releases gases such as Sulphur Dioxide into the air which makes the rainwater more acidic with a pH of about 4. Air pollution caused by man also contributes to the acid rain.
