Question

Explain two reasons why cars in Mombasa rust faster than those in Nairobi.

Answer 1

Mombasa and Kisumu yet both cities are by water mass and have comparable humidity. It is not just moisture in the air but also combination with salt makes rusting worse. Bear in mind also the water used in washing the cars. I am sure you do know that the water mass in Mombasa is salty but fresh in Mombasa.

I hope this answers you otherwise feel free to ask for clarification.

Answer 2

Answer:

High Humidity

Explanation:

1. The primary reason why cars in Mombasa rust faster than those in Nairobi is because the humidity ( water evaporation rate)  in Mombasa is higher than that of Nairobi.
2. Since Mombasa has higher temperatures the rate of water evaporation is higher which results into a higer humidity.  In return, this provides a favorable condition for rusting.
3. Since Mombasa is adjacent to the Indian Ocean; the ocean salt, combines with the humidity and the winds, which results in natural corrosion on metals (Rust). Therefore cars are more likely to rust faster in Mombasa than Nairobi.
