Along coastal desert regions, which mechanism causes cool offshore waters to create advection fog?

💡 Explanation

Upwelling brings cold, deep ocean waters to the surface, thus air becomes saturated when it contacts the water. This causes advection fog, because the air is chilled much more effectively by cold subsurface streams rather than local thermal cooling sources.
