Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Advection fog occurs when warm, moist air blows over a cold surface, such as a current, and cools. The cooling of the air causes water vapor to condense into fog. Radiation fog forms when the ground cools rapidly beneath a clear sky, convection fog forms when moist air rises and cools, and evaporation fog forms when cold air moves over a relatively warm, moist surface.
