Atmosphere of Triton Atmosphere of Triton The atmosphere of Triton is the layer of gases surrounding Triton. The surface pressure is only 14 microbars (0.014 hPa or 1 mmHg), of the surface pressure on Earth, and it is composed of nitrogen, similar to those of Titan and Earth. It extends 800 kilometers above its surface. Recent observations have shown an increase in temperature. Nitrogen is the main gas in Triton's atmosphere. The two other known components are methane and carbon monoxide, whose abundances are a few hundredths of a percent of that of the nitrogen. Carbon monoxide, which was discovered only in 2010
Shale gas in the United States natural gas expenditures by as much as 11.6 billion by 2025. America's Natural Gas Association (ANGA) estimates that lower gas prices will add an additional $926 of disposable household income annually between 2012 and 2015, and that the amount could increase to $2,000 by 2035. Over a 100 billion dollars is going to be invested in the US Petrochemical industry and most of it in Texas. Due to emergence of shale gas, coal consumption declined from 2009. One study finds that hyraulic fracturing has contributed to job growth and higher wages. The results of the study "suggest new oil and
