Studying the effect of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) on tendons. Tenosynovitis is one of the common features of rheumatoid arthritis in the hand. It affects both the extensor and flexor tendons, sometimes leading to granulomatous involvement and tendon rupture. The commonest sites of rupture are well known but the areas of more general tendon involvement are less understood.
exists and is an alternate of . The main process by which mountains form is through tectonic activity. When two tectonic plates collide, the crust is crumpled and pushed upwards to form mountains (as an analogy, imagine the effect of pushing a rug up against the wall).
A volcano is also a mountain formed by the accumulation of these eruptive products. Let's take a look at how volcanoes form: Earth's crust is 40 to 250 miles (64 to 402 kilometers) thick. It is broken up into 14 major and 38 smaller pieces called tectonic plates.
