The latest quake occurred just 110 miles from the epicenter of last December’s tsunami-generating earthquake, which some scientists are now calling the second largest quake on record. Although this week’s quake did kill hundreds of people, it did not cause a devastating tsunami. What caused the difference between the two quakes? And are more quakes likely?

Polio, (also known as poliomyelitis) is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. The virus attacks the nervous system, and can lead to total paralysis. The disease predominately attacks children under the age of five. Although the advent of successful vaccines in the 1950s and 1960s protected many in the industrialized world from the virus, polio is still a major health risk around the world today.
