They combine to form rust. You might be able to guess from what's combining that "rust" is apparently an iron oxide.
The short answer is iron oxide. However, there are two common iron oxides. When you heat iron in air you get black iron oxide, Fe3O4. In more complex reactions red iron oxide, Fe2O3 is produced.
ummm well... take an iron bar, pour some water on it, and expose it into the air. nothing happens.
occurs when iron combines with oxygen in the air

The iron part of steel combines with oxygen in the air, or dissolved in water. This is a chemical reaction, which produces iron oxide- rust.
it decreases

it can rust because of the oxygen in the air

Iron rusts as a result of corrosion, when iron, water, and oxygen combine. Water combines with carbon dioxide in the air, forming a weak carbonic acid. As the acid forms, the iron dissolves, and rust begins to form.
Iron combines with oxygen in the air to form ferric oxide, also known as rust.
