The automobile is a great place to look for examples of corrosion!

Look at a paint scratch or chip that goes all the way down to the metal. Notice the reddish stain that appears in the scratch....that's corrosion (RUST).

Look underneath the car where bare metal parts are constantly exposed to water, and you will find a build up of rust on nuts and bolts, exhaust pipes, etc.

Under the hood, if you check the battery terminals you may find a white powdery substance on one or both terminal connections. This is a chemical corrosion different than rust, caused by acid fumes from the battery.

The net result of corrosion is the destruction of metallic parts through oxidation or other chemical changes to the original material.
