Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of the words are types of fog that are formed due to different meteorological conditions. Advection fog forms when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface, such as when marine air blows inland over coastal areas. Radiation fog forms during clear, calm, and cool nights when the cooling of the ground causes the air to become saturated. Upslope fog forms as moist air moves towards a mountain slope and rises, causing the moisture to cool and condense into fog. Steam fog, on the other hand, forms when cold air moves over warm water bodies, causing evaporation and the subsequent condensation of the air to form fog. It is not related to meteorological conditions like the other three types of fog.
