Solution

The factors that can result in acid deposition are:

  1. Coal-burning power plants: These plants emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere which can lead to acid deposition.

  2. Combustion of fossil fuels: The burning of fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, contributing to acid deposition.

  3. Atmospheric sulfur and nitrogen oxides: These gases react with water, oxygen, and other substances to form various acidic compounds resulting in acid deposition.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are not typically associated with acid deposition. They are more commonly linked to ozone depletion.
