Text and Images from Slide

5.1 How and why do rocks disintegrate to form sediment?

Image showing the weathering of rock by salt water.

Image shows the weathering caused by salt water with tiny holes and cracks.

Fig 5.3b

Salt enters with water into rocks and as water evaporates salt crystals form. This is an important physical weathering agent in deserts, seacoasts, and areas using salts as a de-icer.
