Answer to Question 1

Meteorological drought: Degree of dryness, compared to a regional average, and the duration of the dry conditions.
Agricultural drought: Soil moisture is insufficient resulting in lack of crop growth and production.
Hydrological drought: Effects of rain and show shortages on water supply.
Socioeconomic drought: Resource shortages that result from reduced water.

Answer to Question 2

The hydrological cycle is the continual circulation of water through the Earth's lower atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and upper lithosphere. It can be divided into three main components: atmosphere, surface, and subsurface. The hydrologic cycle involves the evaporation of water from oceans; the evapotranspiration of water from the land surface; precipitation both over the oceans and land surface; stream flow and runoff; and soil and groundwater components.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
