B)radiation fog
C)steam fog
D)lenticular clouds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two ocean currents with different temperatures flow next to each other and the wind blows perpendicular to them, there is a high chance of advection fog formation. This occurs when the warm, moist air above the warmer current flows over the colder current, leading to the cooling and condensation of water vapor, resulting in the formation of fog. The perpendicular wind direction aids in the mixing of the two air masses, further promoting fog formation. Radiation fog is formed on clear and calm nights due to the cooling of the ground, steam fog forms when cold, dry air moves over relatively warm water, and lenticular clouds are formed when moist air flows over elevated terrain.
