Answer to Question 1

Sediment pollution causes navigable waterways to be clogged and causes fish and other
organic life to die due to the lack of oxygen and because of the muddy water it creates.



Answer to Question 2

Soil erosion is the wearing away of the soil by wind or water, causing the loss of topsoil
and the pollution of surface water by the displaced soil.

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.
