How can sea fog form when warm moist marine air moves over a cold surface?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Air is cooled from below to its dew point

Correct answer: A. Warm, moist air contains a relatively large amount of water vapour. When this air moves horizontally over a colder sea surface, land surface, or ice-covered surface, it is cooled from below. Cooling lowers the air’s capacity to hold vapour. When the air temperature reaches its dew point, relative humidity becomes about 100 percent and some vapour condenses into tiny suspended droplets. These droplets form sea or advection fog near the surface. B is wrong because fog does not require the air to become completely dry; it requires saturation. C describes no atmospheric process. D is wrong because fog can form over coasts, seas, valleys, and plains, not only on mountains. Memory cue: advection fog means moist air moves over a cold surface and is cooled to saturation.
