Why do automobiles rust more easily in wet climates than drier climate?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
Automobile parts are mostly made of iron. For rusting of the iron, water is required as a catalyst. In wet climate you have more of water vapour, which promotes rusting easily. In dry climate you have less of water vapour in the climate and so rusting is very slow as compared to wet climate.

Why does coastal water in areas with hotter water have drier climates than having higher climates salinity than coastal water in cooler more humid areas?

Where are canyons located?
. To answer your question they are found in drier climates. But not to dry for water not to run. Why? Because without the water to shape canyons and do a process called erosion, there wouldn't be canyons.

What best describes the European climate?
The climate of Europe is of a temperate, continental nature, with a maritime climate prevailing on the western coasts and a Mediterranean climate in the south. The climate is strongly conditioned by the Gulf Stream, which keeps mild air over the high latitude northwestern region over the winter months, especially in Ireland, the UK and coastal Norway. Whilst Western Europe has an oceanic climate, Eastern Europe has a drier, continental climate. Parts of the Central European plains have a hybrid oceanic/continental climate. Four seasons occur in Eastern Europe, while southern Europe experiences distinct wet season and dry seasons, with prevailing hot and dry conditions during the summer months.

Why do automobliles rust more easily in wet climates that drier climates?
Water is one of the main ingredients to make steel/iron rust.
Why do automobiles rust more easily in wet climates the drier climates?
Water/moisture is one of the main ingredients of rust. Oxygen, water and any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. The amount of water determines the speed of the rust process. Seawater or saltwater also speeds up the process.

Does a mountain range create two different climates?
Yes, mountain ranges can create two different climates on each side due to the phenomenon known as orographic effect. As air rises over the range, it cools and releases moisture on the windward side, creating a wetter climate. On the leeward side, air descends and warms, resulting in a drier climate, known as a rain shadow.
