Heterosphere Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

composition of the atmosphere - Answer atmosphere consists of a mixture of invisible gases and suspended microscopic solid particles and water droplets molecules of gases can be exchanged between the atmosphere and earth's surface by physical processes (volcanic eruptions) and biological processes (plant & animal respiration) aerosols - small solid particles and liquid droplets - (ex: wind-generated dust, volcanic ejections, sea spray, combustion etc.) steady state - atmosphere acts like ...
