Q. Nitrogen oxides produced from the emission of automobiles and power plants are the source of fine air borne particles which lead to

A) Photochemical smog
B) Dry acid deposition
C) Industrial smog
D) Wet acid deposition
Explanation

Depending on climate conditions, tiny particles of nitrogen and sulphur oxides may be airborne for a while and then fall to earth as dry acid deposition. Most of sulphur and nitrogen dioxides dissolve in atmospheric water to form weak solutions of $H_{2}SO_{4}$and $HNO_{3}$. Winds can distribute them over great distances before they fall to earth in rain and now, this is called wet acid deposition.
