Question 10 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

Which type of cloud forms close to the ground when the temperature is just above the dew point?

Answer
A
cirrus
B
cumulus
C
fog
D
stratus

Explanation

Fog forms when air near the ground becomes nearly saturated, so its temperature is at or just above the dew point. Water vapor then condenses into tiny droplets suspended close to the ground. Cirrus, cumulus, and stratus are cloud types that form higher in the atmosphere.
