True or false wet air from the Pacific Ocean causes much of the northern Coast of California to be rainy and foggy?
True The California current - which starts off the coast of British Columbia, carries cooler water south along the Pacific coast - thus the water off the coast of California is cooler than that at comparable latitudes elsewhere. Combined with upwelling of cooler waters of the coast and the prevailing northwesterly winds, the moisture saturated air is pushed over the cold water and inland where it further cools. This is the mechanism that produces California's characteristic coastal fog and rain.
