Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It is believed that water descends into cracks and crevices along the ridges of the seafloor. The water
then makes contact with the rocks. Then, chemically active, superheated water dissolves minerals and
gases are released though these hydrothermal vents via convection. Information can be found in the
section The Topography of Deep-Ocean Basins Differs from That of the Continental Margins



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Trenches and island arcs are expected at areas where converging ocean crust subducts. Trenches are
arc-shaped depressions in the deep-ocean floor. Information can be found in the section The
Topography of Deep-Ocean Basins Differs from That of the Continental Margins.

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.
