What else can I help you with?
What layer do the airplane fly?
Airplanes Fly in the layer of the atmosphere called Troposphere
Why are thunderheadas called thunderheads?
Thunderheads are called so because they are large, towering clouds that are associated with thunderstorms. These clouds can reach great heights in the atmosphere, and their development often produces thunder and lightning. The term "thunderhead" reflects their association with the atmospheric conditions that lead to thunderstorms.
Storms that form within large cumulonimbus clouds and produce rain and lightning are called?
thunderstorms
What type of thunderstorms is a tornado associated with?
Tornadoes are usually associated with especially powerful thunderstorms called supercells.
Do tornadoes begin over the ocean why or why not?
Generally not. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells, which form under similar conditions to ordinary thunderstorms and as anybody can tell you, thunderstorms don't need to form over an ocean. That said, some tornadoes do form on the ocean.
Do airplanes fly above the atmosphere or below?
Airplanes fly inside the atmosphere which is made up of 4 levels. The atmosphere starts at sea or ground level and when it ends you are in outer space (no longer on earth). Majority of all planes fly in the first level of the atmosphere called the Troposphere which ends around 50K feet. Military jets and spy planes usually fly in the second atmosphere called the stratosphere.
What layer do the airplane fly?
Airplanes Fly in the layer of the atmosphere called Troposphere
How can tornadoes form when it is a pretty day?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form. However, the day may be sunny before the thunderstorms develop. As the sun heats the earth it also heats the lower atmosphere. This makes the atmosphere unstable, which can lead to thunderstorms. There are also whirlwinds called dust devils that can form on hot, sunny days. These somewhat resemble tornadoes but they are not actually tornadoes.

Does the wing tip vortex on a plane cause turbulence?
Yes. This is part of what is called wake turbulence.
What are some examples of the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and mesosphere. Examples of phenomena found in the stratosphere include the ozone layer, which helps protect Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, as well as the presence of high-altitude clouds called noctilucent clouds. Commercial airplanes often fly in the lower stratosphere due to its stability and lack of turbulence.
What type of thunderstorms have intense rotating updrafts?
Such thunderstorms are called supercells.
What is the name of the clouds that airplanes make when they release water into the atmosphere?
Airplanes do not release water into the atmosphere. Those cloudlike trails that you see following aircraft are called "contrails" and they are caused by the agitation of the air by the aircraft passing through it, causing water molecules suspended in the air to collide and join to create droplets.
Are airplanes jets?
Yes, jets are airplanes but they are called supersonic airplanes.
What are the causes of environmental turbulence?
Environmental turbulence is caused by changes in the air currents. These air currents can be changed as a result of the weather, air planes, and other external factors. What is called clear-air-turbulance is often the result of the jet stream and located at high altitudes. Wind shear, mountain wave, wake turbulence, thermal induced turbulence, and thunderstorms are additional examples of environmental turbulence.
What is it called a rough and uneven flow of air?
Turbulence.
What are the balls of ice called?
Balls of ice are called hailstones. They form when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets.
