Secondary plates are tectonic plates that form as a result of the interaction between primary plates, typically at their boundaries. These plates can be created through processes like rifting or slab pull, often resulting in smaller, more localized tectonic features. They can be involved in various geological phenomena, including earthquakes and volcanic activity, as they interact with adjacent primary plates. Examples include microplates like the Juan de Fuca Plate and the Caribbean Plate.

Do growth plates lie between primary and secondary ossification centers?

Yes, growth plates (also known as epiphyseal plates) are located between the primary and secondary ossification centers in long bones. They allow for longitudinal bone growth by producing new cartilage cells that are eventually replaced by bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the growth plates ossify and the bone stops growing in length.

Do you stop to grow because of weightlifting if you started with 15?

No, growth of bones stops when the epiphyseal growth plates in bones undergo changes secondary to increased testosterone levels. The plates are cartilage surfaces at the ends of the bones.


Secondary ossification occurs when?

Secondary ossification occurs when bone tissue develops from cartilage after the primary ossification process, typically during childhood and adolescence. This process primarily involves the formation of epiphyseal plates at the ends of long bones, allowing for growth in length. It usually completes when an individual reaches skeletal maturity, resulting in the closure of these growth plates. Thus, secondary ossification is crucial for the proper development and growth of the skeletal system.

What are Danbury Mint Hummel Plates for the years 1985-1989 worth?

The price of plates go up and down. A bit like the stock market. For a collector of plates there is a collectors book that lists plates by maker, year, and name of the plate. The book shows the purchase price of the plate and the secondary market value of the plate. eBay can also give an approximate current value of the plate. Plate prices are determined by what the buyer/collector will pay.


What two plates create mountains?

Convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide can create mountains. One plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the formation of mountain ranges like the Andes or Himalayas.
