I can't figure it out why we put 'high' after noun 'layer'. What does it mean? When can we use adjectives after nouns? Is there any difference in the meaning if we swap the position of the adjective and noun in the example above?

ozone
a form of oxygen that is found in a layer high in the earth's atmosphere called ozone.
