quiz me on – Met Exam 2

Why does the tropopause vary in height?
Differences in air density between the poles and the equator.
What is a danger of turbulence?
Potential loss of control and structural damage.
What is QNH?
The air pressure at sea level. With QNH set on the altimeter subscale the altimeter will read height above sea level.
