Consider "the bright moon shone down on the wide sea." That doesn't mean the scene is set on Mars. There has to be more than one layer pretty much by the definition of layer, and not because layer is modified by the adjective high. | |

| May 2, 2017 at 9:27 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | " ... a form of oxygen that is found in a layer high." is ungrammatical. " ... a form of oxygen that is found in a layer high in the earth's atmosphere." involves a standard Whiz-deletion. // Adjectives modifying and positioned immediately after a noun (eg 'chicken supreme') without say a link verb are known as 'postnominal' or 'postpositive' adjectives. | |
