In which condition is salt weathering more likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Entry and drying of salty water

Salty water enters cracks in rocks. When the water dries, salt crystals form and grow, exerting pressure on the crack walls and breaking the rock. Therefore, salt weathering is common in coastal and arid areas. Dense rainforests are more strongly associated with chemical weathering. Exam tip: salty water plus repeated wetting and drying indicates salt weathering.
