Troposhere: The layer of Earth’s atmosphere from the surface to about 10 miles in altitude. Tropopause: the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere aboce. Well mixed and is the site and source of our weather. Primary recipient of air pollutants. Stratosphere: The layer of Earth’s atmosphere between 10 miles and 40 miles above the surface that contains the ozone shield. Mixes only slowly; pollutants that enter it remain for long periods of time. Weather: The day-to-day variations
