Wet & Dry Phase Reactions Flashcards
0
Q
Dry deposition: Rate of about
A
3% per hour.
1
Q
Dry deposition: the direct deposition onto the
A
Ground and vegetation of un transformed SO2 gas by adsorption and absorption.
2
Q
Dry deposition: Not limited to
A
Wet conditions.
3
Q
Dry deposition: Can take place by
A
3 different gas-phase pathways.
4
Q
Wet deposition: The deposition of
A
Transformed oxides of sulfur in aqueous form, either as rainfall or snowfall.
5
Q
Wet deposition: Faster than
A
Dry deposition.
6
Q
In general, mountain areas have higher rainfall than
A
Lowland areas; therefore the amount of acids deposited on vegetation and soils by wet deposition will be higher.
7
Q
Mountain ecosystems often have more mist and fog than
A
Lowland areas; this increases the amount of acid deposition.
