Question

which description refers to fog?
burns off when it gets dark
extends up to 10 miles into the sky
is found in areas near bodies of water
forms when the ground warms at night after a cool, dry day

Explanation:

Fog is a cloud that touches the ground. It often forms near bodies of water. When there is a body of water nearby, there is more moisture in the air. As the air cools (especially at night or in the early morning), the moisture condenses to form fog.

• Fog usually burns off when the sun comes up (not when it gets dark), so the first option is incorrect.
• Fog is a low - lying cloud. Clouds that extend 10 miles into the sky are usually cumulonimbus clouds (associated with thunderstorms), not fog.
• Fog forms when the ground (and the air near it) cools (not warms). When the ground cools at night (after a relatively warm day), the air near the ground cools. If the air is moist enough, the moisture condenses to form fog.

Answer:

is found in areas near bodies of water
