Question 1

Water runoff is a major factor in soil erosion, what is a common land use practice on slopes to minimize soil erosion?
◦ adding a rock mulch layer to slow water runoff
◦ terracing slopes to stop downslope runoff and rill formation
◦ planting row crops with rows running downhill, to minimize channelization of flow
◦ planting trees

Question 2

After the drought of the 1930's farmers in the Great Plains were encouraged to plant rows of trees across fields to decrease soil erosion. How would this reduce soil erosion?
◦ The trees had no effect; they were just used to improve the land appearance after the great depression.
◦ Tree roots would retard runoff and prevent erosion.
◦ The trees helped shade the ground, retaining moisture.
◦ The trees can serve as windbreaks to slow wind erosion.

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.
