Inversion layers happen when air is warmed by the warmer sides of the valley- making the temperature decrease not increase with height.
True
False
Radiation fog is when
the valley gets a gust of wind and radiates fog
the valley sides appear to sweat from overheating during terrestrial radiation
The valley slopes warm up and the cool air evaporates forming a cloud radiation
The valley floor warms as the suns rays penetrate the fog and it appears to lift...

subsides
subdues
subdivides
