If an aircraft flies in a relatively calm region above storm clouds, it is generally near which layer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lower stratosphere
Most clouds, thunderstorms, and turbulent weather are found in the troposphere. The lower stratosphere lies above the tropopause and is comparatively dry and stable because vertical air movement is limited. Commercial aircraft may cruise near the tropopause or in the lower stratosphere, depending on altitude and conditions. Thus option A is the best answer. The lower troposphere contains the storm clouds, while the exosphere and mesopause are far too high for ordinary aircraft flight.
