It takes about 8-12 weeks to heal the bone and about the same for the muscle. Your pain should improve significantly by then. There is no change in healing rate compared to # of broken ribs. It takes about 8-12 weeks to heal the bone and about the same for the muscle.
Figure 7.14 Environments of metamorphism in the context of plate tectonics: (a) regional metamorphism related to mountain building at a continent-continent convergent boundary, (b) regional metamorphism of oceanic crust in the area on either side of a spreading ridge, (c) regional metamorphism of oceanic crustal rocks within a subduction zone, (d) contact metamorphism adjacent to a magma body at a high level in the crust, and (e) regional metamorphism related to mountain building at a ...
Regional Metamorphism. Metamorphism on a grander scale, called regional metamorphism, accompanies mountain-building activity. These metamorphic rocks pervade regions that have been subjected to intense pressures and temperatures during the development of mountain chains along boundaries between crustal plates.etamorphism that occurs in the course of increasing temperatures is called progressive. It is accompanied by the loss of volatile components (dehydration, decarbonatization) by the initial rocks. The opposite processes against a background of decreasing temperature are termed regressive metamorphism.
