Why does a helicopter lose altitude when flying over a water surface?

When a helicopter flies close to a water surface, the air below the helicopter is disturbed by the movement of the rotor blades. This disturbance can affect the lift generated by the rotor blades, leading to a loss of altitude due to reduced lift. This phenomenon is known as "ground effect."


Make sentences of the word altitude?

Altitude is a noun meaning the height above sea level or the earth's surface. Here are some sample sentences. "The search and rescue helicopter was flying at an altitude below 100 feet." "The air traffic controllers had the incoming planes fly at different altitudes to avoid collisions while they awaited permission to land." The altitude of the highest mountain range in the world is above 8,000 meters above sea level.
