Why is air stability in the stratosphere useful for aircraft flight?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because turbulence and vertical mixing are low
The governing concept is atmospheric stability. In the stratosphere, temperature generally increases with height, which suppresses strong vertical convection and mixing. As a result, aircraft may encounter less turbulence and can fly more smoothly than in the weather-active troposphere. Therefore option B is correct. Heavy rainfall, proximity to the ground, and rivers are not causes of stratospheric flight stability.
