Desert fog is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when moisture in the air condenses into tiny water droplets near the ground, creating a misty or foggy atmosphere in arid regions. It can occur in desert areas where there is a sudden increase in humidity or temperature fluctuations, leading to the formation of fog despite the dry conditions.

What types of plants live in a fog desert?
Plants in a fog desert, like the Atacama Desert in Chile, are adapted to utilize the moisture from coastal fogs. These deserts can support unique plant species such as cacti, succulents, and xerophytes that are able to thrive in low-water environments and rely on fog as a water source. Examples include the Chilean rhubarb (Gunnera tinctoria) and certain species of cacti like Copiapoa cinerea.
