Creating acid rain: Acidic gases (sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) are emitted from factories and vehicles into the atmosphere, where they are carried by the wind until they reach clouds or water-rich fog. The gases then dissolve in water and produce acid rain that destroys vegetation and pollutes rivers. And the lakes and crumbled stone buildings.
