What about turbulence in the air?
“Turbulence occurs when two air masses of different temperatures or different speeds collide. These can produce sudden movements in the aircraft according to their intensity,” aeronautical sources told Télam.
Turbulence is usually common in certain regions and times of the year and in general planes are alerted to their presence by the aircraft’s weather radar and avoid themalthough sometimes, due to its magnitude, they have no choice but to face it and try to overcome it in the least uncomfortable way possible for passengers.
