Describe dew point and fog formation.
Description should include the following concepts:
- Fog is a cloud that is on the surface.
- Fog typically occurs when the temperature of air near the ground is cooled to the air’s dew point. Water vapor in the air then condenses and becomes visible.
- Fog is classified according to the way it forms and is dependent on the current temperature and the amount of water vapor in the air.
