Answer to Question 1

It is at this latitude that high-pressure ridges form, and as air that is already dry descends, it becomes
warmer, causing increased evaporation.



Answer to Question 2

Low pressures in the equatorial regions; high pressures in the polar regions.

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).
