Question

acid deposition is most likely to occur select one: a. in forested areas. b. in mountainous areas. c. where the soil is already acid. d. down wind of a coal fired power plant.

Explanation:

Acid deposition is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react in the atmosphere to form acids. Coal - fired power plants emit large amounts of these pollutants. The wind can carry the resulting acidic particles and gases, depositing them downwind of the power plant. Forested areas, mountainous areas, or areas with acidic soil do not directly cause acid deposition as much as the proximity to a major source of pollutants like a coal - fired power plant.

Answer:

D. down wind of a coal fired power plant
