Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which can be released in different ways. Both Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO) are primarily released by human sources such as electricity generation, factory emissions and motor vehicles. Energy generation through the process of burning coal is a primary contributor to gaseous pollutions that cause acid rain. These gases can travel hundreds of kilometers before deposited in the form of acid rain. Natural phenomena can also release SO2 and NO such as that volcanic eruptions release sulfur dioxide while electric activity in the atmosphere can produce nitrogen
