What is Acid Rain?

Acid Rain is a term used to describe different ways in which acid falls from our atmosphere.  A better term would be Acid Deposition, which is made up of two parts, wet and dry deposition.  Wet deposition is composed of acidic rain, fog, or snow, where as dry deposition refers to acidic gases and particles.  This deposition contains higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids.
