Term
Explain why governments and companies should try to reduce acid rain.
Definition
Acid rain destroys ecosystems by changing the pH of the water. It can kill trees, fish in lakes and amphibians.
Term
Describe the effects of acid rain on infrastructure such as buildings and roads.

All particles are always moving is one statement from Kinetic Particle Theory. State another part of Kinetic Particle Theory.
Definition
Particles move faster as their temperature increases.
Term
Diffusion is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration. Give an example of diffusion.
Definition
(There are many examples). Dye is dropped in a glass of water. Over time it spreads out to be evenly spread throughout the water.
Term
