Dawn groundmist over the Yorkshire moors.Groundfog of this type forms because water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, and retains its heat while the land cools down as night draws in. During the night the warmer water evaporates off the surface (usually over a lake or following the line of a river) into the colder air, creating mist that gradually burns off as the sun warms the land.LozImage credit: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images -- source link
