Why does rusting not happen in the Sahara desert?
Because there is no water
How does being in a desert effect rust?
Since there is little humidity and rain in a desert, metal items oxidize (rust) at a much slower rate than in more humid areas.
Why is the desert an area of slow weathering?
The greatest agent of erosion is water which is rare in the desert except during the brief rainy season. Therefore, water erosion in the desert is much slower than in areas with more rainfall.
Which continent has no desert areas?
All continents have deserts. Even Europe has some small areas of desert and semi-desert areas.
How rusting of iron fast in coastal areas than deserts?
Rusting is strongly favored in humid atmosphere and also by the ion chloride from salt.
How many desert areas are in North America?
There are five major desert areas in North America:Mojave Desert Great Basin Desert Chihuahuan Desert Sonoran Desert Colorado Plateau Desert
How many desert areas are there in the world?
There are about 24 major desert areas in the world and dozens of much smaller desert regions.
Can rusting of iron take place in distilled water?
Yes, rusting of iron can occur in distilled water, although the process may be slower compared to if the iron is exposed to water containing ions or impurities that can catalyze the rusting process. Rusting is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form iron oxide.
Why do objects in the desert not rust?
Objects in the desert do rust, just at a much slower rate. Water and high humidity speed up the oxidation process. Deserts have little moisture so the process is slower.
What is one state in the US that has a dessert?

Is a cattail in the desert?
Cattails would only be found in areas in the desert with permanent water. They are not common in the desert because such areas of water are rare.
What is rusting and burning?
They are all oxidation. Burning is much faster than the other two and releases large quantities of heat. Rusting and tarnishing are much slower. Tarnishing typically shows a change in color and very little in the way of physical change. Rusting slowly eats away the material as it combines with the oxygen.
