Fog
In order for fog to form, plenty of water vapour is needed. This water vapour can come from the evaporation of ocean or lake water, whereas some comes from the *transpiration in land and plants.
Fog generally appears translucent and fuzzy white. Fog can affect visibility, resulting in various conditions such as slow driving and traffic congestion. It can have a great impact on traffic and transportation.
Fog can block sunlight, reduce photosynthesis in plants and affect crop growth. Fog moisture can cause ripe fruits and vegetables to rot, thus bringing economic losses to the agricultural industry.
