Answer to Question 1

The relationship between seawater density and water temperature is that warm water has lower density and cold water has higher density.

Answer to Question 2

Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that every object in the universe is attracted to every other object, states that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the produce of the masses of two bodies, but inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two masses. Thus, although the Moon is very small (27 million times smaller in mass) compared to the Sun, it is much closer (390 times closer) and therefore exerts a stronger influence on Earth's tides. The solar bulges are only 46 the size of the lunar bulges, thus the Moon exerts just over two times the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth's tides.

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.
