honeycomb weathering is a type of weathering which affects rocks in many different environments where there is a high level of salinty, often on rock walls near the beach or in deserts. Sea spray or wind that is carrying salt lands on a rock surface and the moisture evaporates from the salt and the leftover salt crystalises. The crystalised salt heats up and expands, eroding many holes in the rock surface.
