Salt Weathering

In this episode, I talk about how salt acts as a physical
weathering agent to break down rocks.  Physical weathering
is the breaking down of rocks without a chemical change, and salt
can act as the agent that breaks down rocks especially close to
the ocean, but also in salt-rich soils, etc.
