Is it natural for clouds to flow near the surface?
I suppose that it had been raining before. The water had gone to the soil, but the moment you took that picture, it was already evaporating. The air was filling with such water coming from the soil, but air can hold only a limited quantity of gas water, so no more water could be in the form of gas (at so called &quot;point of saturation&quot;). Thus, it changed its state of matter from gas to liquid. But as we all now, liquid water can be seen (the &quot;gas&quot; above the boiling water that we can see is actually liquid water that rapidly cools down). Also, clouds are just such liquid water caught in the air, thus a cloud formed.
The near surface clouds can also form near the sea, with orographic clouds, or on a front, but such near surface clouds are more similar to fog (actually they are fog).
