Question

sulfur dioxide is one of the few air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion that does not contribute directly to global warming. however, it contributes indirectly to warming by inhibiting plant growth as a reactant in the formation of acid - rain. how can acid rain inhibit plant growth?
it leaches minerals from the soil.
it increases soil buffering capacity.
it reduces soil nitrogen content.
it washes carbon from the soil.

Explanation:

El agua de lluvia ácida contiene iones ácidos que reaccionan con los nutrientes en el suelo. Esto provoca que los nutrientes, como los minerales, se disuelvan y se lixeen del suelo, lo que hace que las plantas no tengan acceso a los nutrientes necesarios para su crecimiento.

Answer:

O. It leaches minerals from the soil.
