The meaning of choppiness is genuinely direct: disorganized and impulsive swirls of air, upset from a more settled state by different powers. In the event that you've at any point watched a tranquil string of rising smoke separate into perpetually muddled whirls, you've seen choppiness.
Unpleasant air happens all over the place, from ground level to far above cruising elevation. Yet, the most widely recognized choppiness experienced by flyers has three basic causes: mountains, fly streams, and tempests.

If you fly frequently, there is probably at least one time, if not many, when you experienced turbulence on the plane. You probably felt some movement and bags may have been thrown around. Most turbulence on an airplane is called clear-air turbulence. This is caused by the air around the plane and in the sky is moving at varying speeds.

When these different airs collide, they may cause the plane to move involuntarily. There are areas where planes feel more turbulence than others. In the troposphere they feel more turbulence because the plane is flying at around 23,000 feet to 39,000 feet. Usually, turbulence do not cause any major injuries to passengers or to the plane. Sometimes, people will get scrapes and bruises from falling luggage.
