Water

Acid rain is a serious environmental problem that affects large parts of the United States and Canada. Acid rain is particularly damaging to lakes, streams, and forests and the plants and animals that live in these ecosystems (What is Acid Rain?). This is an example of an acid lake (AP Images). Acid rain is a destructive force of nature that causes damage to the environment in many ways. One way is that it destroys trees and other plants in forests (What is Acid Rain?). Another effect acid rain has on the environment is it's impact on fish and aquatic life in general (What is Acid Rain?). There is a dramatic decrease in aquatic life when there is acid rain. This kind of decrease represents poor environmental health in the area.
