Technically anything can be broken down and explained by the physics involved. Although physics is usually reserved for making physical descriptions of situations that are as ideal as possible. The behaviour of the interaction of elements usually falls under chemistry.

It is the product of the oxidation of iron - usually in the presence of water where the hydrogen atoms present in water molecules can combine with other elements to form acids, which will eventually cause more metal to be exposed as the iron oxides form - expand, and flake off.
