Which of the following is a type of fog that forms in the valleys due to temperature inversions?
A. Upslope fog
B. Advection fog
C. Radiation fog
D. Valley fog
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Valley fog forms in mountain valleys due to temperature inversions, where cold, dense air settles in the valley, and radiation fog forms in the cooler air.
Explanation:
The dry adiabatic lapse rate is approximately 1°C per 100 meters (or 10°C per kilometer). This is the rate at which a dry parcel of air cools as it rises.
Explanation:
The Ferrel cell is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern where air rises at the subtropics, flows poleward, and sinks at the poles.
