This image (takes a bit to load) gives a stunning example of this principle, the weather in Texas at the moment.  But in other parts of the image there is mixing going on all over the place.  So, at the risk of offending you atmospheric physicists out there, I would like to edit the adage to say, “Layers of the Atmposphere don’t Mix-- except when they do.”

Sorry, in the latest im age, the sliding of one layer over another is best illustrated in the US southeast.
