Corrosion is the oxidation of metals by reaction with the chemicals (oxygen, water, salts etc. ) environment to more stable oxidation states and includes rusting of iron, tarnishing of silver and copper, pitting of aluminum etc. The type of corrosion depends on the metal and the environment is in.
What else can I help you with?
After a hurricane much sand on one popular New Jersey beach had been washed a way by huge waves Is this an example of corrosion or erosion?
This is an example of erosion. Erosion is the process by which rocks and soil are broken down and carried away by actions such as wind, water, or ice. In this case, the waves removed the sand from the beach, leading to erosion. Corrosion, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of materials due to chemical reactions.
What are the geographical processes related to the issue of coastal management?
attrition, abrasion, hydraulic action, corrosion and erosion.
What is a gradual wearing away of a substance by water is known as?
Erosion is the gradual wearing away of a substance by water. This process involves the removal of soil, rock, or other materials from the Earth's surface by water flow, such as rivers, streams, or ocean waves.
What is a property in chemistry?
Examples: chemical reactivity, resistance to corrosion, flammability, oxidation, etc.
What are some examples of weathered rock?
Some examples of weathered rock include sand, silt, clay, and gravel. These sedimentary materials are formed from the breakdown and erosion of larger rocks caused by weathering processes such as wind, water, and temperature changes.
If water waves wash sand away is it corrosion or erosion?
Erosion
What are some examples of erosion caused by ice?
ice wedging
Whats the definition of erosion?
The physical processes of erosion are called corrasion or mechanical erosion; the chemical processes are called corrosion or chemical erosion. But most examples of erosion include some of both corrasion and corrosion. The agents of erosion are gravity, ice, water (eluvian erosion) and wind (eolian erosion). Erosion is sometimes restricted to transportation, excluding weathering. Erosion does not include mass wasting, unless erosion is being discussed in a tectonic context, in which case exhumation may be the better term. An easy way of putting that is erosion is the movement of an object caused by weather. By:Gabriel simatupang 4-5 C (highscope tb simatupang)
What are some examples of corrosion?
Iron and steel rusting is an example of corrosion. Copper pitting or the green patina one sees on copper roofs are also examples of corrosion. Stress Cracking is also considered an example of corrosion.
What is the difference between corrosion and errosion?
Corrosion is a chemical oxidative process. Erosion is a physical wear process.
Are sand dunes and deltas examples of erosion?
No, they are examples of deposition, not erosion.
What are two results in which waves cause erosion?
abrasion and corrosion ?
What is an antonym for accretion?
Corrosion, attrition, destruction, loss and erosion.
What rhymes with corrosion?
"Explosive" can rhyme with "corrosive". I bet some other words can too, but that is what I can think of right now.
Is the weathering of the earths surface known as corrosion?
No, it's known as erosion. Corrosion is the weathering of things like metal and glass.
What kind of affect does acid rain have on monuments?
erosion corrosion, close?
What are the processes of erosion that wear away the soft rock?
Abration and corrosion.
