Rain is dancing on Gondolin’s high towers. It drips from architraves and streaks down the lancet windows. The climbing flowers that wind around the high balustrades and volutes gather the rains in their trumpet-shaped blossoms. Iridescent in the rain, hummingbird wings quiver ruby red and gold in the misty air, flashes of dancing color. Rain sings on the fountains and in the marble-paved courtyards. It flutters at the panes like timorous wings, a song afraid to be heard, lest it be ruined by hardened

The poem “Rain, Snow, and Other Weather” by Lauren Stacks is about the weather, as the title may hint at. However, this is not all it is truly about. It follows the narrator of the poem, who is speaking to a friend about how they’re “like the weather” (1), through the usage of metaphors and vivid imagery. The most literal interpretation of this poem would then be, unquestionably, that the speaker has become part of the forecast. However, if one looks at the meaning in a more figurative way, it takes

List some sources of acid rain. Acid rain is made by a chemical reaction that starts with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which is the main cause for the harmful effects of acid rain released in the air. These compounds get into the atmosphere where they get mixed and start to react with oxygen, water and other different chemicals to make acid rain. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide both can dissolve in water. I personally feel that it is because of humans acid rain is so harmful. Over the years

“The Long Rain” in various ways. One way he shows ugliness is through the rain. Due to the constant downpour, life seems to be dragging on slowly. Everything is bleak and dreary. The rain is affecting humans greatly. Their skin is losing color and their hands are starting to crinkle up. They are slowly starting to die. There are even corpses who have mold growing out of them. The vegetation seems to be lifeless also. Due to no sign of life, everything seems unappealing and hideous. The rain is making

formation of acid rain are triggered. The largest contributors to pollution are humans through industrial factories that expel foreign chemicals into the atmosphere and cause the formation of acid rain. This topic was chosen to explore the effect of man-made acid rain as a result of pollution in the air on plants, human health, and much more. The effect of pH on oxygen (O2) consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) production is worthy of investigation because human-caused acid rain is at large at many

withstand cold temperatures, insects, and disease. The pollutants may also inhibit trees ' ability to reproduce.” Acid rain deprives soil of its nutrients to allow plants to retain water, thus disrupting the food chain for animals and creatures that depend on plants. The acidity in the water can cause a declining in aquatic animals sensitive to acidic pH levels derived from acid rain, and can cause a ripple effects of animals going extinct. With biodiversity loss, this can cause a disruption of the

effect of acid rain on seedling germination By Lily and Zeenat 4th May 2017 Question How does acid rain effect seedling germination(bean seeds) Hypothesis The bean seeds being watered with acid rain will begin to dry up, lose colour, start cracking and stop growing Aim To test whether acid rain will have an effect on seedling germination Introduction When sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides incorporate into rain, snow or mist, the result is acid precipitation. Acid rain is particularly

ACID DEPOSITION AND ACID RAIN: Acid deposition is caused by acidic particles and gases that deposit or fall to the Earth. Acid deposition can be wet or dry. Wet deposition is deposition of acidic gases such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen and acidic particles brought down as precipitation by rain, fog and snow. Dry deposition is dry deposition of acidic gases in the absence of rain or precipitation. Acidity is measured using a scale called the pH scale. This scale goes from 0 to 14. 0 is the most

The term "Acid Rain" is a broad term that is used to emphasize on the fact that the rain has become acidic using certain pollutants, which may appear in different forms. For example, the dry deposition is when gases and dust particles become acidic, being able to affect a person 's health by inhaling it. On the other side, wet deposition is when it rains, polluting the trees and lakes. Acid rain is a result of two different sources; first is natural sources, such as decaying vegetation and volcanoes

INTRODUCTION Acid rain or also known as acid deposition are divided into two that is wet deposition and dry deposition. Wet deposition is what always be called as acid rain. Acid rain is a term that any form of precipitation with acidic component, such as sulphuric or nitric acid. Example of acid rain form were rain, snow, fog, hail or even dust that is acidic. Acid rain occur when sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents

In The Long Rain by Ray Bradbury, the progressive insanity of the crew is a central theme of the short story. In addition, Pickard and Simmons demonstrate how the constant rain has led to them becoming insane; furthermore, the destroyed Sun Dome leaves Pickard and Simmons more mentally broken than before. First of all, Pickard shows how the rain makes him more agitated, and it slowly makes him more insane. Furthermore, Pickard expresses how the rain has made him insane by making him unable to sleep;

In the Hollywood movie Rain Man (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1988) the movie makers introduce the movie goers to a condition known as the savant syndrome. This film is one of the first movies that won an Oscar for shedding light on a mental disorder. Giving the fact that this movie is now nearly 18 years old it paints a pretty accurate and realistic picture of the disorder! Often times the media distorts the facts in favor of the message is like to convey. The Actor, Dustin Hoffman, plays the role of the

Acid Rain “Acid Rain 30 Years On.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 23 Aug. 2010, www.nytimes.com/2010/08/24/opinion/24tue4.html.             More than 30 years ago a skeptic persuaded senates to perform a study to find out if they should be worrying about Acid rain. The study showed that yes they should be worrying about acid rain because it is making 3,000 lakes and streams too acidic to support aquatic life. Due to the studies the 1990 Clean Air Act was established and basically said

2.3 Effects of Acid Rain on the Environment and Human Society. Acid deposition is a serious regional problem occurring near and in many areas downwind from coal burning power plants, smelters, factories, and large urban areas according to Miller (1998). SO2 is emitted primarily by stationary sources such as power plants that burn fossil fuels whereas NOx are emitted by both stationary and mobile sources such as automobiles. How serious vegetation and aquatic life in nearby lakes are affected by
