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.
The most serious complication of appendicitis is rupture. The appendix bursts or tears if appendicitis is not diagnosed quickly and goes untreated. Infants, young children, and older adults are at highest risk. A ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis and abscess. Peritonitis is a dangerous infection that happens when bacteria and other contents of the torn appendix leak into the abdomen. In people with appendicitis, an abscess usually takes the form of a swollen mass filled with fluid and bacteria.
