Question

Gravity-powered “harvesting” of this phenomenon can be accomplished with thin meshes like shade cloth. This phenomenon names deserts that are dominantly supplied by its “drip.” When this phenomenon coincides with forest (20[1])fires, it can be “super.” A low-altitude temperature inversion causes the “Tule” example of this (20[1])phenomenon’s “radiation” type, (20[1])which depletes via “burn off.” Wind passing over a cold surface can cause (20[1])the (20[1])(*) “advection” type of this phenomenon. This phenomenon dampens high frequencies, so horns used in its (10[1])presence typically (10[1])use (10[1])a low (10[1])pitch. (10[2])This (10[1])phenomenon can arise from low-lying stratus clouds. (10[4])For 10 points, name this phenomenon (10[1])that mixes with smoke (10[1])to form smog. (10[3])■END■ (10[12])

ANSWER: fog [accept fog harvesting or fog deserts or super fog or Tule fog or radiation fog or advection fog or foghorn; accept smog until read; prompt on phenomena involving clouds like cloud cover until “clouds” is read; reject “mist”]
