= **__Effects of Acid Rain__ **= = Acid rain causes acidification of lakes and streams and contributes to the damage of trees at high elevations and many forest soils. Not only does acid rain effect trees, plants and water sources, animals such as birds are also badly effected. When acid rain falls, scientists have observed that many birds have laid eggs that have failed to hatch due to poor shells. The shells become weak and break so are unable to hatch. In addition, acid rain also accelerates the decay of building materials and paints, including irreplaceable buildings, statues, and sculptures like the Taj Mahal and the Statue Of Liberty. = == The effects of acid rain on a forest.
