Read the passage below before answering the question. 'Cumberland Falls, located near Corbin, Kentucky, is often called the Little Niagara of the South. Standing 68 feet tall and 125 feet wide, the waterfall plunges into the Cumberland River with a thunderous roar. On nights with a clear sky and a full moon, a rare natural phenomenon occurs: a brilliant lunar rainbow, or moonbow. Mist rising from the roaring falls refracts the moonlight, producing a delicate arc of shimmering color across the night sky. Cumberland Falls is one of the only places in the Western Hemisphere where moonbows appear predictably on a regular basis.' According to the passage, what environmental conditions are needed for a moonbow to appear at Cumberland Falls?
Correct Answer:
A full moon, a clear night sky, and mist rising from the waterfall
