it should really be salt corosion, which is when salt corodes something, when it eats away at another material like when salt corodes steel it breaks down the surface molecules and damages it.
and it erodes

Do salt marshes help protect the coast from erosion?
do salt marches prevent erosion fro happening
What type of weathering occurs to granite?
Granite is a very resilient type of rock and is not prone to much erosion. types of erosion that could occur to granite are acid rain, coastal erosion (weather and salt from the sea damaging it) and weather erosion. it would take an extremely long period of time for erosion to become apparent.
What is erosion and types of erosion?
Erosion is the process of carrying bits of rocks and other materials. There are two types of erosion called water erosion and wind erosion.
What are three transporting agents of erosion?
water erosion, wind erosion, and glacial erosion.
What are the five forces or erosion?
Wind erosion, liquid erosion, chemical/corrosive erosion, heat erosion, can't think of any more...

Why do cars rust more in winter?
in laymans terms, the salt causes erosion.
Is wave erosion the same as coastal erosion?
Wave erosion is when ocean waves move sediments and erode the ocean floor.Coastal erosion is when ocean waves generate currents, and when in comes into contact with land, it erodes the land.
Why is the ocean salty and where does the salt come from?
In brief, sodium chloride (salt) is a natural component of the rocks, and as erosion and solution take their course, the salt is dissolved and flows to the sea. The sea can absorb a large quantity of salt.
What minerals are commonly available in sea water due to weathering and erosion?
Sand, dirt, salt.

What problems do salt water animals have with food?
water pollution and soil erosion caused by humans can also cause the food in the salt water to be contagious or poisonous.
How can rivers lead to the formation of new rock types?
Through erosion. Rocks that are already there can turn into new ones due to erosion and what's in the water (IE - Salt Water, etc.)
How are relict cliffs formed?
because when sea water crashes onto them they ware away due to salt erosion
What can effect sidewalks to be damaged?
many things, including natural erosion, excessive use, and excess salt being put down
Downhill movement of large masses of soil or rock under the influence of gravity?
The answer is erosion. This includes the chemical and solution break up of rocks, and their transport to another place. Aerial erosion is the process of moving sand and dusts by wind. Fluvial erosion is the same process but carried out by water, and this can move much larger particles. And the coasts are subject to erosion by the waves and the salt.
What types of weathering is the sphinx faced with?
It was first believed that the erosion on the sphinx due to weather was caused by water rather than wind. Further studies indicated that water erosion is a lot like salt exfoliation in appearance, which is caused by changes in humidity but no actual water. Therefore, theories vary concerning the source of erosion on the sphinx.
