Explain why, rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal areas than in deserts
Shreya980429:
because coastal areas have high humidity than desert area so that the iron gets enough water and oxygen to corrode
the answer is that salt increases the speed of rusting and as sea water is salty so is its vapour and hence it is greater in coastal areas

Rusting of iron occurs only if iron comes in contact with moist air. In coastal areas, air contains high percentage of moisture because of sea or ocean, while in deserts air is dry and hot. As the percentage of moisture in air is more in coastal area compared to desert, rusting becomes faster.
