to the atmosphere and when it rains it brings the
pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid
rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can
make rain, snow, hail, or even fog. The scientific
term for acid rain is acid deposition which means
when the acid is taken from the air and is
deposited on the earth. Major industries, coal
burning factories, power plants and automobile
engines are the main sou...

where no single country acting alone can
effectively compete on the foreign market. Even
the United States, with its vast resources, can
not have an absolute advantage in all thing that
