Answer to Question 1

Answer: Intensity cannot be used in uninhabited areas. Intensity cannot indicate whether the earthquake was nearby (and small) or far away (and large). Intensity does not indicate whether the earthquake alone was large enough to cause the damage or if the damage occurred because of shoddy construction.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Intensity is a measure of ground shaking based on property damage. Magnitude is a quantitative measurement that estimates the amount of energy released at the source of the earthquake.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
