Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
These waves can be catastrophic. Currents can also contribute to a kind of rogue wave formed by wind
wave and surface current interactions. Information can be found in the section Interference Produces
Irregular Wave Motions



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The segment about Dr. Stegers arctic foothold being jeopardized by huge waves moving beneath the
ice is describing the movement which is like an earthquake at sea. Ice the size of city blocks are
falling and being smashed and ground together creating an ice quake. Information can be found in the

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.
