The Structure of the Earth’s Atmosphere * Chemical Composition * Vertical Layers * Coriolis Force * Hadley Cells Current Composition Atmospheric Composition today The Troposphere The surface layer up to about 30,000 ft Heated from below, by ground having absorbed solar energy Temperature highest near the ground, and falls all the way up to about 30,000 ft This means the possibility of convection, and therefore weather, as clouds form from rising air which cools by pressure drop, and clouds dissipate as air falls and heats. The Stratosphere Heated mostly by absorbing UV light from the sun b
