Answer to Question 1

Magma rises at mid-oceanic ridges and heats the adjacent rocks, producing contact metamorphism.
Fluids emanate from the rising magma, and the magma reacts with seawater to produce metal-bearing
hydrothermal solutions.



Answer to Question 2

Metamorphic rocks formed near Earth's surface along an oceanic-continental convergent plate
boundary result from low-temperature, high-pressure conditions. As a subducted oceanic plate
descends, it is subjected to increasingly higher temperatures and pressures that result in higher-grade
metamorphism

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.
