Description
A hard covering or coat on the surface of another material. In minerals or metals, a crust or deterioration product of one, may be redeposited over another. Weathering may oxidize or deteriorate the surface of some materials forming a hard, sometimes protective, crust. A surface crust may also be formed by pollution or by low solubility salts, such as calcium sulfate, that form glassy, adherent films. See Black crust, Gypsum crust, Gypcrete, and Caliche.
