It comes from Tule grass or reeds that grow in wetlands of California. Low fog comes from these wetlands and it is called a tule fog. Any low fog in California is referred to as tule fog since it resembles the fog in the wetlands.

The saying the sun will burn the fog off but how?

The sun burns off fog through a process called evaporation. As the sun's rays warm the air, the water droplets in the fog begin to evaporate and turn into water vapor. This causes the fog to dissipate and clear up as the water vapor rises into the atmosphere.


What is fog intensity?

Fog intensity refers to the density or thickness of fog in a particular area. It is a measure of how much visibility is reduced due to fog, with higher intensity indicating thicker fog and lower visibility. Fog intensity can vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind conditions.


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 2 types of fog?

The two main types of fog are advection fog, which forms when warm, moist air moves over a cool surface, and radiation fog, which forms when the Earth's surface cools down rapidly by radiating its heat into the atmosphere.


What is fog oasis?

A fog oasis is a unique ecosystem where fog is the primary source of moisture for plant life. In these areas, plants have adapted to capture water directly from fog, allowing them to thrive in otherwise arid environments. Fog oases are usually found in coastal regions or mountainous areas where fog frequently occurs.
