70% to pass

Which type of fog is the most dense and widely spread of those that occur on the Great Lakes?

A Radiation fog
B Lake effect fog
C Steam fog
D Advection fog
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Advection fog. Advection fog is the most dense and widely spread type of fog that occurs on the Great Lakes. This is because advection fog forms when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface, such as the relatively cold waters of the Great Lakes. As the warm air cools, the moisture condenses and creates a dense, widespread fog bank that can cover large areas. In contrast, the other fog types mentioned (radiation, lake effect, and steam fog) are generally more localized or temporary in nature on the Great Lakes.
