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.
TLC to Help Nails Grow Everyone has an individual rate at which her nails increase in length, and that can't be changed, says Paul Kechijian, M.D., a nail specialist and a former clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University. On average, nails gain about one eighth of an inch per month.
