What can turbulence from convective activity result in?

Turbulence associated with convective activity primarily occurs due to the rising and descending air currents that are characteristic of thunderstorms and other convective weather phenomena. When the atmosphere is unstable, warm air can rise rapidly, causing vigorous updrafts and downdrafts that create turbulence.

This turbulence is significant because it can lead to the development of thunderstorms, which are associated with a variety of potential hazards for aviation, including severe turbulence, hail, lightning, and heavy precipitation. Pilots must be vigilant about weather conditions that can result from convective activity, as these can pose threats to flight safety.

Other options do not accurately represent the consequences of convective turbulence, as stable flight conditions and increased pilot visibility would not typically be outcomes of such turbulent conditions, and cooling of aircraft engines is unrelated to turbulence itself.
