EFFECTS
ICE MELT - RISE IN SEA LEVEL
EXTREME WEATHER
CHANGE IN WIND PATTERNS AND DISTRIBUTION OF RAINFALL
PROCESS ACID RAIN
SULFUR DIOXIDE + NITROGEN OXIDES
DISSOLVE IN WATER
SULFURIC AND NITRIC ACIDS
LOWER pH
HARMUFUL TO AMPHIBIANS IN RIVERS
LEAVES DIE
LICHENS
INDICATORS OF POLLUTION
SOME VERY SENSITIVE - GROW ONLY IN SULFUR DIOXIDE FREE ZONES
SOME CAN TOLERATE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
SOME CAN TOLERE INTERMEDIATE CONCENTRATIONS
