Concept in Definition ABC

Fog is the meteorological phenomenon what does the presence of very low clouds, almost at ground level and is made up of small particles of Water in suspension. This situation is generated as a consequence of the evaporation of soil moisture, then upload the air humid that when cooling condenses and forms these super low clouds.

There is a classification of the different fogs, which will depend on the cooling that caused the condensation. So in some places we can find the radiation fog which is the one that occurs after sunset, once the ground is cold, it produces the condensation of that air. This situation is common in the countries of weather tempered during fall.

The wind fog takes place when large masses of air loaded with moisture pass through cold soils, cooling that air, this occurs regularly on the coasts. Then we have the steam fog that occurs when a cold air moves over warm waters, converting the condensation into a dew point, this we can see in the end of autumn, beginning of the winter.

On the other hand we have the fog of precipitationthat just as its name tells us, it occurs because the air behind the cloud is dry when it rains. Hillside mist, characteristic in the area of ​​mountain peaks and is formed when the wind blows against a slope of Mountain.

Fog is together with other meteorological phenomena such as storms, or strong winds, one of the main causes of air and car accidents, since visibility at times when it is present, it is significantly reduced, being able to reach 10 km, almost making it impossible to circulate on the routes or the landing and take-off of airplanes.
