ANSWER

A nail, when exposed to the elements for any extended length of time, undergos some familiar changes. The silvery sheen of a new nail gives way to reddish-brown spots, which then spread to cover the entire nail. The sharp outline softens, covered in rough scale and eaten away with tiny pits. Eventually, the rust reaches the core, until you can break the nail between your fingers. Finally, the nail crumbles entirely, leaving only a powdery stain. The cause of all this is a chemical reaction between the iron in the nail and oxygen dissolved in the water it encounters.
