Answer to Question 1

Meteorological drought: Degree of dryness, compared to a regional average, and the duration of the dry conditions.
Agricultural drought: Soil moisture is insufficient resulting in lack of crop growth and production.
Hydrological drought: Effects of rain and show shortages on water supply.
Socioeconomic drought: Resource shortages that result from reduced water.

Answer to Question 2

The hydrological cycle is the continual circulation of water through the Earth's lower atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and upper lithosphere. It can be divided into three main components: atmosphere, surface, and subsurface. The hydrologic cycle involves the evaporation of water from oceans; the evapotranspiration of water from the land surface; precipitation both over the oceans and land surface; stream flow and runoff; and soil and groundwater components.

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).
