The epiphyseal plates are also known as the growth plates. When these are thick, especially due to injury, they can eventually cause a deformity in the child's growth and development.

It means the person is not growing properly due to lack of calcium or it could mean there is enough calcium but the person is lacking vitamin D. This person needs to get calcium via milk or some type of supplement and a trip out in the sun will help with the vitamin D issue.The guy who generated the answer by reading the book
The thickness of the Earth's plates can vary, but on average they are about 70 kilometers thick. However, oceanic plates are generally thinner at around 5-10 kilometers thick, while continental plates are thicker, ranging from 40-70 kilometers in thickness.
Ironclad
plates There are continental plates (thick and made of granite) and oceanic plates (thin and made of basalt).
Continental plates are generally thicker than oceanic plates. Continental plates can range from 20-200 km thick, while oceanic plates are typically around 5-10 km thick.

The oceanic crust is typically between 5 km (3 mi) to 10 km (6 mi) thick.
