Two animated brains move over a line maze. Two chomping halves of an animated pink brain join together. Text on banners over the brain reads, “Hungry Brain!”

[Upbeat music plays]

A narrator says, HUNGRY BRAIN!

A drawing of a girl with curly brown hair stands with her arms crossed. Fog appears and grows thick around her.

The drawing says, HMM.

[Upbeat music plays]

The narrator says, THEY SAY YOU'RE
IN A FOG WHEN YOU CAN'T
THINK CLEARLY, BUT IMAGINE BEING
IN A FOG WHILE YOU'RE IN AN ACTUAL FOG.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER
PHENOMENON KNOWN AS...

[Coughing, boing]

The narrator says, NEVER MIND.
HERE'S THE TOP ON FOG.

Text reads, “The Top on Fog.”

A dark blue four with light purple fog-like lines appears.

[Whoosh, soft rumble]

The narrator says, NUMBER FOUR,
FOG OFTEN FORMS AT NIGHT.
PICTURE THIS:

A LONG, COLD AUTUMN NIGHT,
NOT A WHISPER OF A BREEZE.
THEN, SOMETHING MAGICAL HAPPENS.

[Insects chirp, owl hoots]

The narrator says, THE GROUND SURFACE
COOLS DOWN, AND HEAT BEGINS TO ESCAPE.

In a drawing, fog rises from the grass beneath a tree.

The narrator says, THIS IS CALLED RADIATION.

THE MOISTURE IN THE AIR
CONDENSES TO FORM
TEENY-TINY WATER DROPLETS.

In a green circle, small water drops appear.

[Popping]

The narrator says, WHEN THE SUN
COMES UP, THE AIR AND THE GROUND
GET WARMER.

[Birds chirp, chiming]

THE SMALL DROPLETS EVAPORATE
LIKE BOILING WATER IN A PAN,
AND POOF! THE FOG DISAPPEARS.

The fog disappears from the drawing.

A dark blue three with light purple fog-like lines appears.

[Whoosh, soft rumble]

The narrator says, NUMBER THREE,
THE WORLD'S MOST FOGGY PLACE.

ON OUR PLANET,
COASTAL AREAS AROUND OCEANS
ARE THE MOST MISTY.

A green map of Canada zooms in on Newfoundland.

[Beeping, upbeat music continues]

The narrator says,
THE MOST FOGGY PLACE IN
THE WORLD IS LOCATED SOUTH
OF THE COAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND,
WHERE TWO CURRENTS MEET.

A WARM CURRENT,
CALLED THE GULF STREAM,
COMING FROM THE SOUTH,
AND A COLD CURRENT
CALLED THE LABRADOR CURRENT,
COMING FROM THE NORTH.

On the map, a red and a blue line pass close to each other by the coast of Newfoundland.

[Gusting wind, whooshing]

A red and blue two with white fog-like lines appears.

[Whoosh, soft rumble]

The narrator says, NUMBER TWO,
THE FOG THAT HELPED
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.

IN THE EARLY EIGHTEENTH CENTURY,
THE UNITED STATES WAS STILL
A BRITISH COLONY.

A green map of the United States zooms in on New York.

The narrator says, IN SEVENTEEN
SEVENTY-SIX, THE AMERICANS FOUGHT
FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE.

A CRUCIAL BATTLE TOOK PLACE
AT THE END OF AUGUST
IN THE NEW YORK AREA.

THE AMERICAN ARMY WAS
SURROUNDED BY TWICE
AS MANY BRITISH SOLDIERS.

Animated blue and red soldiers appear on the map.

[Popping]

The narrator says, THEIR DEFEAT
WAS AT HAND. BUT A THICK FOG
BUILT UP IN THE VALLEY,
SO THE AMERICANS WERE ABLE
TO FLEE WITHOUT BEING SEEN.

[Loud rushing footstep]

A red soldier says, HUH?

The narrator says, WITHOUT THE FOG,
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
MIGHT NOT HAVE EVER EXISTED.

A purple one with white fog-like lines appears.

[Whoosh, soft rumble]

The narrator says,
NUMBER ONE, FOG TRAPS.

On a map, green lines circle countries as they are mentioned.

[Beeping, zapping, upbeat music continues]

The narrator says,
IN VERY DRY COUNTRIES
SUCH AS PARTS OF PERU,
CHILE, OR MOROCCO,
THEY USE A CLEVER SOLUTION
TO GET THEIR WATER.

LARGE PLASTIC NETS PRICKED WITH
TINY HOLES ARE INSTALLED.
THESE ARE CALLED FOG TRAPS.

THE STEAM CONDENSES
AND DRIPS INTO GUTTERS
THAT COLLECT WATER.

A drawing of a purple net hanging on two poles shows water dripping from the holes in the net.

[Whooshing, popping]

The narrator says, ON AVERAGE,
A NET OF FORTY SQUARE METRES
CAN TRAP MORE THAN SIXTY LITRES
OF WATER PER DAY, ENOUGH FOR
MANY FAMILIES TO SURVIVE.

A drawing of sixty jugs of water, with six lines of ten jugs each, covers the net.

The narrator says, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
I HADN'T THE FOGGIEST IDEA.

The drawing of the girl smiles and a light bulb lights up in one of her eyes.

[Ding, chiming]
