Answer to Question 1

False
RATIONALE: Altitudinal zonation refers to the series of highland climates arranged into zones by elevation. This zonation results from the fact that air temperature decreases with elevation at a normal lapse rate of approximately 3.6F (1.7C) per 1000 feet (300 m). At least four major zones are commonly recognized in Latin America: the tierra caliente (hot country), the tierra templada (cool country), the tierra fra (cold country), and the tierra helada (frost country).

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.
