Compare and contrast the formation of radiation fog and advection fog?
H2O nearing dew point by radiative process causes radiation fog . Advection of warm air over cold surface makes Avection fog
Different types of fog?
There are two types of fog, advection fog and radiation, or ground fog. Advection fog is common along the pacific coast of the United States. Warm, moist air over the Pacific Ocean is blown inward. The other kind of fog is radiation, or ground fog. This fog is common lots of places. It forms when a layer of warm, moist air forms low to the ground.
What are the names of the three kinds of fog?
Freezing fog, advection fog, and evaporation fog!
