Explaining salt weathering (Haloclasty)

[@Rache-sx7lc]

But sir it does happens in deserts, so where is there salt water in the desert?

[@hube7830]

Sometimes the salt is already inside the rock. Rain or moisture in the air can enter the rock, dissolve the salt and pull it out to the surface of the rock.

[@adarsh915]

Where is the salt? What happens with the salt?

[@hube7830]

By the same processes of weathering acting on the rock, salt is also removed as it accumulates. Rain, wind etc.

[@adarsh915]

@@hube7830 oh so they get denuded easily bcz they're softer than rocks right? Thanks Sir!!

[@hube7830]

Exactly. So it can’t accumulate forever. At the scale haloclasty is taking place, the tiny salt crystals are building up in fissures on the rock which offers some protection from weathering initially. As the salt crystals break off parts of the rock, they open up more access for weathering by wind/rain.
