Question

Explain why rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal areas than in deserts.

Please give me correct answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

For rusting, the presence of air(oxygen) and moisture(water) is required. In coastal areas the quantity of moisture present in air is higher than in the deserts. Hence, rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal areas than in deserts.

Answer 2

Rusting of iron needs oxygen (air) and moisture.

Around coastal areas,humidity) moisture is high. The salts in sea water also increase the rate of rusting,whereas in deserts,moisture is negligible .therefore rusting of iron is faster in coastal areas than in deserts.
