Question

Gases released from power plants mix with water vapor in the sky to make ________________.

  1. Smog
  2. Acid rain
  3. Global warming
  4. Particulate matter

hintHint:

Smog, which is mainly made of ozone and particulate carbon (soot) emitted by coal-burning power plants, causes damage to the lungs of humans and animals.

The correct answer is: Acid rain


    Factories that burn fossil fuels also release sulfur and nitrogen dioxides, which combine with water in the atmosphere to make acid rain.
