What in a peat bog can form rust?

Question

well theres no oxygen in peat bogs and you need oxygen for rust to form, so why does iron in peat bogs rust??

Answer 1

Peat bogs are pretty stagnant and quickly become oxygen starved, deep under the water.  This does not mean that there is no oxygen in peat bogs.  I'm not a rust expert, but there could very well be enough oxygen in a peat bog to rust iron, especially if the iron is not fully submerged in water.

Answer 2

uhm.....hate to shock you but there is plenty of oxygen in peat bogs!! peat produces oxygen by converting carbon dioxide! where you get your information from a comic book?
