    Both 1 and 2

  4. d.

    Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

  • When the temperature of an air mass, containing a large quantity of water vapour, falls all of a sudden, condensation takes place within itself on fine dust particles. So, the fog is a cloud with its base at or very near to the ground.
  • The only difference between mist and fog is that mist contains more moisture than fog. In mist, each nuclei contains a thicker layer of moisture.
  • Mists are frequent over mountains, as the rising warm air up the slopes meets a cold surface. Fogs are drier than mist and they are prevalent where warm currents of air come in contact with cold currents. Fogs are mini-clouds, in which condensation takes place around nuclei provided by dust, smoke and the salt particles.
