Process of Dry/Wet Deposition and Locations

Notes


Dry Deposition: Sulphur dioxide bonds with transpired water molecules on SA of leaf, causing the leaves to 'burn'

Wet Deposition: Conventional Acid Rain cycle

In Europe (prevailing wind travels NE)

- Dry deposition, where the sulphur dioxide is carried on wind currents, and is deposited on the top parts of trees in that region.

- Wet deposition, AFTER mountainous regions, where wind currents carrying sulphur dioxide condense, and bond with water molecules and acid rain occurs.
