Gasoeus state : Water Vapour
Question 18.
List any three factors responsible for making soil?
Answer
Climite
Living Organism
Topography
Question 19.
Explain the formation of acid rain?
Answer
The fossil fuels like coal and petroleum contain small amounts of nitrogen and sulphur. When these fuels are burnt, nitrogen and sulphur too are burnt and this produces different oxides of nitrogen and sulphur. These oxides disolve in water to forms acids and give rise to acid rains
