The phrase "action of moisture" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe the effects or processes caused by moisture in various contexts, such as environmental science or material degradation.
Example: "The action of moisture on the wooden structure led to significant deterioration over time."
Alternatives: "effect of moisture" or "influence of moisture".
These materials were subjected to an in-situ degradation in a real environment and a rapid degradation by the action of moisture and ultraviolet radiation in an accelerated aging chamber over a period of 2160 hours (3 months).
The testing procedure, consisting of three kinds of constant load accelerated life-time tests, was limited to simulation of the following kinds of absorber surface degradation processes: a) high temperature degradation, e.g. oxidation, b) degradation by the action of moisture or condensed water on the absorber surface, e.g. hydration or hydrolysis.
Therefore, in this year light rings could arise as a result of combined action of moisture deficit, cold late-summer temperatures and decreased level of solar radiation.
The difference in the concentration of dust in Earth's atmosphere and that of Mars stems from a key factor: On Earth, dust that leaves atmospheric suspension usually gets aggregated into larger particles through the action of soil moisture or gets suspended in oceanic waters.
In the former group, a fragmentation occurs by the action of heat, moisture, sunlight, and/or enzymes.
Retting, process employing the action of bacteria and moisture on plants to dissolve or rot away much of the cellular tissues and gummy substances surrounding bast-fibre bundles, thus facilitating separation of the fibre from the stem.
It is generated by the action of heat upon moisture, the rarefaction thereby produced creating a continued rush of wind.
This device is connected between the patient and a normal ICU ventilator, and it maintains 90% of the volatile anesthetic inside the patient, analogous to the action of a heat-moisture exchanger [ 34].
Frost action, the freezing and thawing of moisture in the ground, has long been known to seriously disrupt and destroy structures in both polar and temperate latitudes.
Because of the combined action of wind, thermal and moisture effects, special care has to be taken with regard to fatigue, cracking and corrosion to ensure an adequate level of safety and durability.
However, researches have rarely been carried out to study the effects of moisture and capillary action due to increasing groundwater level on geotechnical properties of lime concrete.
