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.
Tiltmeters are highly sensitive instruments used to measure ground tilt (rotation) near faults and volcanoes caused by fault slip and volcanic uplift. The precision to which tilt can be measured is less than 1 part per billion (i.e. less than 1 inch in 16,000 miles).
