Answer to Question 1

An active volcano has erupted during historic time; a dormant volcano has not erupted recently but
may do so in the future.



Answer to Question 2

VEI is the most widely used indicator of the size of a volcanic eruption. The VEI ranges from 0
(gentle) to 8 (cataclysmic) based on several aspects of the eruption, including the volume of material
explosively ejected and the height of the eruption plume, but not the damage done

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).
