Volcanoes are associated with three types of tectonic structures: convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries and hot spots. California has all three. The SAF is a transform plate boundary (strike slip fault) and so is not accompanied by volcanic activity.s the subducting plate plunges into the mantle, it becomes heated. When it reaches the asthenosphere or thereabouts, subducted water in the descending slab of crust lowers the melting temperature of the rock and a molten rock mixture forms. This hot, buoyant magma forces its way upward through the overriding crust.
Appendicitis in Children. A blockage inside the appendix is what causes appendicitis in children. In order to make a diagnosis, doctors usually perform a physical examination, ask for a medical history, and order certain tests, including laboratory tests and imaging tests. Treatment for appendicitis often requires surgery to remove the appendix.
What causes appendicitis? Appendicitis can have more than one cause, and in many cases the cause is not clear. Possible causes include: Blockage of the opening inside the appendix; enlarged tissue in the wall of your appendix, caused by infection in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or elsewhere in your body; inflammatory bowel disease
