Fog

  1. Convection: When air is warmed it expands and then rises creating low pressure. 
  2. Frontal: When moist air rises due to a mountain or meeting a mass of air that is colder and denser than itself.
  3. Advection: When warm, moist air is cooled as it crosses over a cooler sea or land surface.

Humidity: This is the amount of water vapour in the air.
