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.
Because we are accustomed to nails and hair growing, not hands, feet, and heads shrinking, we perceive this change as an increase in one rather than a decline in the other. To quote the respected forensic anthropologist William R. Maples: It is a myth that fingernails and hair continue to grow after death. What really happens is that the skin may retract around them, making the hair and nails prickle up and jut out more prominently.
