Match the wave motion with the correct seismic wave.
 
  A) motion at Earth's surface that may move materials side to side, or up and down
  B) motion that involves compression and expansion of the material through which it passes; may pass through solids, liquids, and gases
  C) motion that involves oscillation perpendicular to the direction of propagation; only passes through solids
 
  13) P wave
  14) S wave
  15) Surface wave

Question 2

  A) a dip-slip fault where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall block
  B) valley formed from the downward displacement of a normal fault-bounded block
  C) a fault where the dominant displacement is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface
  D) a fault where the movement is parallel to the dip of the fault
  E) a low-angle (less than 45 degrees) reverse fault
  F) an elongated, uplifted block of crust bounded by normal faults
  G) vertical displacements along dipslip faults that may produce long, low cliffs
  H) a dip-slip fault where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall block

  2) horst
  3) graben
  4) normal fault
  5) reverse fault
  6) strike-slip fault
  7) dip-slip fault

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.

Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
