13. Which of the following statements is true about fog and San Francisco?   All of the choices are true. The fog moves onto land in San Francisco because the air heats up inland and rises, and the cool foggy air is pulled in through the Golden Gate. Fog forms along the coast because the air heats up on the coast faster than it does inland, causing the fog to move inland. There is more fog in the winter than the summer in San Francisco because upwelling brings warm water to the surface in the summer.
