Describe the composition of a cinder cone.

Question 2

Explain, in general terms, how the moment magnitude earthquake scale works. For example, is a magnitude 2.0 earthquake slightly smaller than a magnitude 3.0, and half as energetic as a magnitude 4.0?

Answer to Question 1

Cinder cones, which are the smallest type of volcano, usually consist of predominantly gravel-sized pyroclastics. Gas-charged eruptions throw molten lava and solid pyroclastic fragments into the air. Falling under the influence of gravity, these particles accumulate around the almost pipe-like conduit for the eruption as a large pile of tephra.

Answer to Question 2

A magnitude 3.0 earthquake is actually much larger than a magnitude 2.0 because every whole number increase in magnitude represents amplitude that is 10 times greater and approximately 32 times more energy is released.

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).
