The following questions/statements are meant to help you focus on the most important concepts that we"ve covered so far in class (and in the textbook). They do not represent all possible questions that could be asked on the exam. A: the size of the surface area of light is related to its distance from the source. The larger the area over which light is spread, the smaller the amount of the energy that passes through any unit area of that sphere. A: 1) the inner planets are composed primarily of cosmically rare silicates and metals. Atmosphere thin layer of gas or air that surrounds the earth. Processes in the atmosphere include winds, weather, and the exchange of gases with living organisms. Hydrosphere water and ice on or near the surface of the earth.
