Question

Rusting of iron occurs rapidly in areas with high humidity.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that for rusting, the presence of both oxygen and water (water vapour) is essential. Thus, in coastal areas, the air contains high moisture which means more humid environment and rusting becomes faster. Whereas in deserts, moisture in air is less, hence rusting of iron is very slow there.
