Answer to Question 1

A stream meanders when the volume and velocity of a stream is too great for its gradient. An increase
in the distance traveled, by virtue of a meandering path, balances volume and velocity with a low
gradient.



Answer to Question 2

A braided stream has an intricate network of dividing and rejoining channels separated from one
another by sand and gravel bars. Braided streams form when there is an excess of sediment load for the
amount of water available and the depth of the stream channel. Braided streams have broad, shallow
channels and carry a lot of bed load of mostly sand and gravel

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.
