Description
Dew in mountainous regions forms through a process called radiational cooling. At night, the temperature drops rapidly, causing the air near the surface to cool down as well. When this air reaches its dew point, it condenses into tiny droplets on surfaces such as leaves, rocks, or the ground. This is particularly common in mountains due to the clear skies and cooler temperatures at higher altitudes. The moisture collected as dew is crucial for the local ecosystem, providing a vital source of water for plants and animals in these often arid environments.
