and variable gases.
Liquid Atmosphere - correct answer ✔✔clouds
Solid atmosphere - correct answer ✔✔particulate matter.
Permanent Gases - correct answer ✔✔Gases with fixed percentages and those that are variable in their
concentrations. Dynamic and not static equilibrium.
Static Equilibirum - correct answer ✔✔Produced when there are no creation and destruction processes.
Variable Gases - correct answer ✔✔Referred to as greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases - correct answer ✔✔An Atmospheric constituent that traps outgoing terrestrial
radiation. Re-radiation to the earth causes the temperature to rise and the earth to warm up.
