Questions and Answers

Fog can be classified into which of the following genetic groups?

  • Radiation, advection, and cooling
  • Advection, mixing, and cooling
  • Evaporation, mixing, and radiation
  • Evaporation, radiation, and cooling (correct)

    • What causes ground fog to form?

  • Two air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels mixing together
  • Cooling of the ground surface (correct)
  • Warm, moist air moving over a cooler surface
  • Cold, dry air moving over warmer water

    • What distinguishes sea/river mist from ground fog?

  • It is formed due to cooling of the ground surface
  • It forms over low-lying areas and bodies of water
  • It forms over non-frozen bodies of water (correct)
  • It is formed when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface

    Study Notes

    • There are different types of fog, including ground fog, sea/river mist, and radiation fog.
    • Ground fog is formed over low-lying areas and bodies of water, while sea/river mist forms over non-frozen bodies of water.
    • Radiation fog is formed due to cooling of the ground surface, while advection fog is formed when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface.
    • Fog can also be classified into three genetic groups: cooling, evaporation, and mixing.
    • Cooling fog is formed due to cooling of the air, which causes water vapor to condense.
    • Advection fog is a type of cooling fog that forms when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface.
    • Radiation fog is formed due to cooling of the ground surface at night.
    • Evaporation fog is formed when cold, dry air moves over warmer water, causing water vapor to evaporate and then condense.
    • Mixing fog is formed when two air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels mix together.
    • The intensity of fog formation depends on factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and surface temperature.
