Which of the following explains why the Midwest is not suffering as severe damage from acid rain as are the northeastern states? a. Midwest has few sources of acid rain-forming pollutants.
b. pH of rainfall in Midwest is significantly higher than that in the Northeast.
c. soils in the Midwest have a higher buffering capacity than do those in the Northeast.
d. soils in the Midwest have a lower buffering capacity than do those in the Northeast.
e. Midwestern soils have lower concentrations of toxic metals to be leached into watersheds.

a. Midwest has few sources of acid rain-forming pollutants.

Explanation:

Midwest has few sources of acid rain-forming pollutants because Midwest has  less number of factories which produces less pollution. Farming, mining, and manufacturing of different products are the major industries Midwest. Other industries like transportation, finance, and machinery are also important for the economy of Midwest. Due to less number of factories less amount of pollutants goes to the atmosphere and will not cause acid rain.

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.
