When caused by humans, acid rain is most commonly a byproduct of intense air pollution. As pollutants are pumped into the atmosphere, the particles rise up to the point where water can condense around them thereby forming water vapor and rain drops; however, those rain drops are closely intertwined with the pollutants thereby giving them an acidic nature.
