Question

which region of the united states has been most harmed by the problem shown in the cartoon?
far west
midwest
northeast
southeast

Explanation:

The problem shown in the cartoon is acid rain. In the United States, the Northeast region has been most affected by acid rain. This is because the Northeast is downwind from major industrial areas in the Midwest. Pollutants (such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) from Midwestern power plants and industries are carried by prevailing winds to the Northeast. Once there, these pollutants react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain. The acid rain then damages forests, lakes (killing fish and other aquatic life), and buildings in the Northeast.

Answer:

Northeast
