Low-level turbulence can occur and icing can become hazardous in which type of fog?
A
Rain-induced fog.
B
Upslope fog.
C
Steam fog.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
PHAK Chapter 12 describes steam fog (sea smoke), formed when cold, dry air moves over warm water, and notes that low-level turbulence and icing are common with it, because the air is heated from below. Upslope and rain-induced fog are not singled out for those hazards.
