Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Cinder cones are small, steep-sided volcanoes, and are made up of particles resembling cinders. They form when pyroclastic materials accumulate around a vent from which they erupted. Many have a large, bowl-shaped crater, and if they issue any lava flows, they usually break through the base or lower flanks of the mountains.

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.
