The chemical reactions that occur during salt weathering can lead to the deterioration and fragmentation of the material, resulting in a range of visible and measurable changes.
Salt weathering is often seen in coastal areas, where sea spray and salt-laden air can interact with
In some cases, salt weathering can also involve the formation of unique mineral species, such as halite
Saltweathering is a significant concern for the preservation of cultural and historical materials, such as statues,
Overall, salt weathering is an important aspect of the chemical weathering process, influenced by interactions between
