Detailed explanation-2: -Iron when reacts with moist air forms a reddish brown layer of iron oxide which is known as rust.

Detailed explanation-3: -Red rust is the result of heavy exposure to air and moisture, combined many times with a contaminate (salt). This type of rust is most likely atmospheric because typically there are no signs of rust runs or streaks on the metal parts/equipment where the rust has formed.
