Answer to Question 1

Figure 4.18 is useful for answering these questions. At 15 km below the surface, granite completely melts into granitic magma at about 705oC, which is much less than the temperature of the intruding mafic magma. However, this rising magma may not make it to the surface because water will escape as gas as the pressure decreases and this causes an increase in the melting temperature.

Answer to Question 2

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
