10 Questions
Fog can be classified into which of the following genetic groups?
Evaporation, radiation, and cooling
What causes ground fog to form?
Cooling of the ground surface
What distinguishes sea/river mist from ground fog?
It forms over non-frozen bodies of water
What causes advection fog to form?
Warm, moist air moving over a cooler surface
Which type of fog is formed when cold, dry air moves over warmer water?
Evaporation fog
What factors affect the intensity of fog formation?
Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and surface temperature
Which type of fog is formed when two air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels mix together?
Mixing fog
Which type of fog is a type of cooling fog?
Radiation fog
What distinguishes radiation fog from advection fog?
Radiation fog forms due to cooling of the ground surface, while advection fog forms when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface
Which type of fog is formed due to cooling of the air?
Advection fog
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.
