Question

Pratap was travelling by air from Kolkata to Chennai. There was heavy storm and rain in Bhubaneswar. Pratap's flight had flown over Bhubaneswar during that storm and he did not feel any turbulence due to it. As a student of geography how would you explain this?

Answer 1

Pratap’s flight did not feel turbulence because it was flying above the troposphere, the layer where all weather conditions like storms and rain occur. Since planes cruise at high altitudes, they remain unaffected by weather disturbances below.
