Answer to Question 1

Answer: It was a treaty signed by all the major nations of the world except the United States. Its purpose was to cut greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5 percent below 1990 levels. It is due to expire and not yet been replaced.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Feedback mechanisms are numerous in all sorts of places in the Earth's subsystems. The student answer here should explain that a feedback is a natural reaction to change in the status of a system. Most feedbacks are negative feedbacks, therefore tending to dampen the swing of the subsystem away from equilibrium. However, some are positive. The student should illustrate feedback mechanisms with an example (e.g., the disappearance of ice that would decrease albedo).

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.
