How is acid rain formed and what type of damage does it cause?

WHEN FUELS SUCH AS FIREWOOD,GASOLINE AND OTHER FOSSIL FUELS USED IN MOTOR VEHICLES ARE BURNED,CARBON DIOXIDE SULFUR DIOXIDE, AND NITROUS OXIDEARE RELEASED INTO TH AIR. COMBINED WITH WATER VAPOR, THESE GASES FORM ACID SOLUTIONS, KNOWN AS ACID RAIN. IT DISSOLVES MINERALS IN SOIL REDUCING IT'S FERTILITY. WHEN THE SOIL HAS LOST IT'S NUTRIENTS, CROPS AND OTHER PLANTS DO NOT GROW WELL. IT CAN ALSO CORRODE BUILDINGS AND STATUES MADE OF LIMESTONE AND CALCIUM CARBONATE. It also contaminates rivers and dams.
