The Atmosphere: Lower Layers of the Atmosphere

The video explains the structure and characteristics of the troposphere and stratosphere, highlighting the role of the Earth's surface in heating the troposphere and the temperature gradient with altitude. It discusses the tropopause as a boundary and the stratosphere's features, including jet streams and their impact on weather. The importance of the ozone layer in absorbing harmful UV radiation and its vulnerability to pollutants is also covered.
