Where are the growth plates in the body?
what is the funtcion of growth plates?growing bones
What are the epiphyseal growth plates seen only in a growing bone?
Epiphyseal growth plates can be seen only in growing bones. Cell division from these plates lead to growth of bones. Once these plates are ossified, bone growth stops.
What is formed when two ocean plate collide?
When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.

What types of tectonic force create mountains?
