Answer
The main cause of acid rain is the formation of mineral acids like carbonic acid, nitric acid and sulphuric acid during rains.
Combustion of fossil fuels releases large amounts of sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These oxides dissolve in rain water forming mineral acids and causing acid rain.
