Pratap was travelling by air from Kolkata to Chennai. There was heavy storm and rain in Bhubaneswar. Pratap's flight had flown over Bhubaneswar during that storm and he did not feel any turbulence due to it. As a student of geography how would you explain this?

Answer
Pratap did not feel any turbulence because aeroplanes generally fly in the lower stratosphere, where the weather is calm and stable. The troposphere, the layer below the stratosphere, contains all weather phenomena like storms and rain. Since the plane was flying above the troposphere (in the stratosphere), it did not experience the turbulence caused by the storm in Bhubaneswar.
