Question

Summarize, in your own words, how acid rain affects an aquatic environment.

Answer 1

Decrease your PH

Step-by-step explanation:

Acid rain causes the aquatic environment to have very low PH levels. In addition, the aluminum found in the soil escapes into lakes and streams; unfortunately, increased acidity and increased levels of aluminum can be deadly for wildlife, among them ephemera, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, frogs, spotted salamanders, crabs are affected river, and other creatures that are part of the food web.

Answer 2

Water is added to acid to weaken the acid and cause the liquid to be more neutral, thus when acid is added to water, that means that the water is becoming more acidic. This also means that when acid rain is added to water bodies, then those water bodies become more acidic. Essentially, the PH changes. The change in PH in these water bodies can cause aquatic wildlife living in the area to be affected, which can lead to death. This also means that when organisms eat organisms from the acidic water bodies, then they can receive negative affects from the organisms they eat. This, in terms, can affect the food web.
