generate vs. create vs. produce vs. rise

[Liqichao]

hello,
when we want to say some cause leads to some situation or problems, I think all of them can be used here. For example, here is a sentence: Mountains can generate turbulence to altitudes much higher then the mountains themselves.

But I cannot tell them, could you please their differences?

thank you for your answers.

I think you can use any of the words: generate, create, produce in this example without altering the meaning too much. I'm not sure about "rise" or "raise"...may be "give rise to". "Generate" is fine in my opinion.
