Causes of Turbulence
Turbulence is a common occurrence during flights. It is caused by variations in air pressure and wind speed. These variations can be caused by a variety of factors, including weather conditions, terrain, and the plane's altitude.
How to Avoid Turbulence
There is no way to completely avoid turbulence. However, there are a few things that passengers can do to reduce their risk of being injured:
* Choose a seat over the wing. The wing is the most stable part of the plane. * Fasten your seatbelt securely. * Keep your carry-on luggage stowed under your seat. * Avoid moving around the cabin during turbulence.
