It is also a mixture of wet and dry deposition (deposited materials) from the atmosphere contaning higher than normal amounts of Nitric and sulfric acids. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog and snow. Where the weather is dry, the acid chemicals may become incorporated into dust or smoke and fall to the ground through dry deposition, sticking to the ground, homes, buildings, cars and trees.
