Question
which environmental issue is exacerbated when sulfur dioxide erupts from volcanoes?
global warming
acid rain
deforestation
water pollution
Sulfur dioxide (\(SO_2\)) reacts with water vapor, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid (\(H_2SO_4\)). This sulfuric acid is a major component of acid rain. Global warming is mainly related to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), deforestation is about the removal of trees, and water pollution has various causes not directly tied to sulfur dioxide in the way acid rain is.
