The yellow is the region where fluid flow from the Earth's outer core is the greatest. Red mush is the inner core boundary. Large flows exist on an imaginary tangent cylinder due to the effects of the Earth's rotations, fluid viscosity and the presence of the solid inner core within the spherical shell of the outer fluid core.
Growth Rates. Fingernails grow approximately 2 to 3 millimeters, or about 1/8 inch, per month. Toenails grow slower than fingernails, at a rate of about 1 mm per month. Hair, on the other hand, grows at a much faster rate: roughly Â¼ to Â½ inch per month, or 6 inches per year. In fact, after bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body.
In mammals, the growth rate of nails is related to the length of the terminal phalanges (outermost finger bones). Thus, in humans, the nail of the index finger grows faster than that of the little finger; and fingernails grow up to four times faster than toenails.In humans, nails grow at an average rate of 3 mm (0.12 in) a month.Fingernails require three to six months to regrow completely, and toenails require 12 to 18 months. Actual growth rate is dependent upon age, sex, season, exercise level, diet, and hereditary factors.n mammals, the growth rate of nails is related to the length of the terminal phalanges (outermost finger bones).
