Question

due to wind patterns, where does acid deposition fall? downwind of pollutants in the same place as the pollutants

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Acid deposition occurs when pollutants (like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) are carried by wind. Wind patterns move these pollutants away from their source. As the pollutants mix with water vapor in the atmosphere, they form acids. Eventually, these acids fall as precipitation (rain, snow, etc.). Since the wind is moving the pollutants, the acid deposition will fall in areas that are downwind of the pollutant source. It won't fall in the exact same place as the pollutants (because the wind has moved them).

Answer:

Downwind of pollutants
