The average monthly charges for each ESRD patient is $64,000 for our clients. It is not unusual for monthly dialysis charges to exceed $75,000. Not surprising in a market where approximately 72% of all patients are treated by just two large provider organizations.
Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: 1  Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys.  Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.
Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries.The lateral relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually. Convergent boundaries (Destructive) (or active margins) occur where two plates slide toward each other to form either a subduction zone (one plate moving underneath the other) or a continental collision.
