Answer to Question 1

The five components of the Earth's climate system are the atmosphere, the biosphere, the cryosphere, the hydrosphere, and the geosphere. The atmosphere includes the gases and water vapor that form a thin insulating blanket over the Earth's surface. The biosphere is the living portion of the Earth's surface that includes all living organisms. The cryosphere includes all of the frozen water on the Earth's surface such as ice sheets, glaciers, and floating sea ice. The hydrosphere is the portion of the Earth's surface covered by water, whereas the geosphere is the portion of the Earth's surface covered by rock.

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.
