← GeographyWhich outcome will a strong land-sea temperature contrast cause?
A)Increased coastal fog formation risk✓
B)Decreased orographic precipitation inland
C)Reduced surface ocean salinity levels
D)Weakened thermohaline ocean circulation
💡 Explanation
Strong temperature differences trigger increased evaporation and atmospheric instability, leading to advection fog; because the relatively warmer ocean causes substantial humidification over coastal areas, and resulting elevated fog via advection, rather than precipitation changes or shifted ocean currents.
