Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. A major risk factor is increased pressure in the eye. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories:  open-angle  and  closed-angle  (or  angle closure ) glaucoma.laucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss.

Q: A geochemical cycle that cycles material by mantle convection, subduction, and seafloor spreading is A: A geochemical cycle that cycles material by mantle convection, subduction, and seafloor spreading is TECTONIC. Weegy: erosion. The rock cycle includes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes.
Convection Currents in Earth. In Earthâs mantle, large amounts of heat are transferred by convection currents, as shown in Figure 10. Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in the mantle. Mantle Convection. d. Figure 10Mantle Convection Most geologists think that convection currents rise and sink through the mantle.
