Question 65 Deck General
70% to passFog can form in any season on the Great Lakes, but it is most likely to occur over open waters in _______________.
The correct answer is D) spring and early summer. Fog is most likely to occur over the open waters of the Great Lakes during the spring and early summer months. This is because the waters of the Great Lakes are generally colder than the surrounding air during this time of year, which creates the conditions for fog formation. The temperature difference between the water and air causes the air to become saturated, leading to the condensation of water vapor and the formation of fog. The other answer choices are incorrect because fog is less likely to form over open waters during the other seasons - summer and early autumn (A), autumn and early winter (B), and winter and early spring (C) - when the temperature differences between the water and air are not as pronounced.
