According to representatives of the Grand Canyon National Park, the dense sea of ​​fog is explained by the special weather phenomenon called inverse temperature created.This phenomenon only occurs every few years and usually occurs in the winter.

When the phenomenon of temperature inversion occurs, the above warm air layers become a giant cap that compresses the cold air layer inside the ravines below.The whole air is polluted and the fog layers are kept close to the ground and cannot fly high.

As its name suggests, when the temperature inversion occurs, the upper air layer has a warmer temperature.While following normal rules, the higher the temperature, the lower the temperature.
