41. Acid streams. Researchers collected samples of water from streams in the Adirondack Mountains to investigate the effects of acid rain. They measured the pH (acidity) of the water and classified the streams with respect to the kind of substrate (type of rock over which they flow). A lower pH means the water is more acidic. Here is a plot of the pH of the streams by substrate (limestone, mixed, or shale):
