Alison Firich Salt Wedging 1.	The type of weathering is salt wedging. Salt wedging occurs in arid climates and coastal areas. It occurs when saline or salt gets into cracks of the rocks, evaporates, and leaves crystals of salt behind. The rock disintegrates or expands due to the saline solution’s effects. 2.	The rate of weathering is affected by the freshwater runoff in the particular area. If there is no runoff of freshwater, then the salt water will be more diluted. 3.	Salt wedging can be expected to be found in coastal regions near ocean (salt) waters!
