Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides (

NOx

) are emitted into the atmosphere and react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.Forests can suffer great harm from acid rain. Acid rain that penetrates the earth can disintegrate nutrients that trees require for good health, like calcium and magnesium. Aluminum is also discharged into the soil by acid rain, which hinders trees' ability to absorb water.
