Fractures of the coronoid rarely occur in isolation. They usually occur in combination with a radial head fracture, a dislocation of the elbow, or both (terrible triad of the elbow).Large coronoid fractures often are associated with persistent elbow instability even after reduction of the dislocation.
Hydrothermal Vents. Measurement of tectonic plate movements. The amount of tectonic plate movement is measured using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and a network of GPS receivers. This technology allows scientists to measure plate movements as small as a few millimeters per year. click here to plot REAL-TIME data and visualize tectonic plate movement.
Volcano deformation can provide clues about what is happening deep below the surface. Two techniques used to monitor deformation include Tiltmeters and GPS. Like a carpenters level, an electronic tiltmeter uses a small container filled with a conducting fluid and a bubble to measure a change in slope.
