Answer to Question 1

Answer: Ice does not become a glacier until it moves under its own weight. This occurs when the ice mass reaches a critical thickness of approximately 50 meters and the weight of the overlying ice causes the ice at the base to deform plastically and flow downslope.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Both can reveal the direction of ice flow. They differ in how they formed. A roche moutonnee is an erosional featureeroded out of bedrock by continental glaciation, and a drumlin is a depositional feature formed of glacial till.

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.
