Perhaps the salt water (or the salt in the water) acts as a catalyst to make this rust more quickly (faster rate of reaction). It's just a hunch though, not 100% sure. Good luck!

They are all wrong. You have to remember that rusting is caused by oxidation of the metals. So, there are higher oxidizing agents near the sea than anywhere else.

the salt in the water corrodes objects faster due to its consistency.
such as the titanic why its basically falling to pieces
try wikipedia tht answers nearly everythin tho!

it rusts faster cuz salt water (or sea water) is a better electrical conductor.
