Answer:

Acid rain this results when gaseous emissions of sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxide etc come in contact with water vapour and sunlight and are chemically converted to strong acidic compounds such as sulphuric acid, nitric acid etc, and are carried to the earth by rain drops, snow flakes, flog or dew.
