O None of the those
Question 4
Question
113 In what ways do advection fog, radiation fog, and steam fog differ in their formation or location?
Answer
-
O Radiation fog is restricted to land areas; advection fog is most common along coastal areas; steam fog forms over a water surface.
-
O Advection fog deepens as windspeed increases up to 20 knots; steam fog requires calm or very light wind; radiation fog forms when the ground or water cools the air by radiation.
-
O Steam fog forms from moist air moving over a colder surface; advection fog requires cold air over a warmer surface; radiation fog is produced by radiational cooling of the ground.
