A coccyx injury results in pain and discomfort in the tailbone area (the condition is called coccydynia). These injuries may result in a bruise, dislocation, or fracture (break) of the coccyx. Although they may be slow to heal, the majority of coccyx injuries can be managed with cautious treatment.

Topography is the variety of shapes found on the landscape determined by slopes, elevation and aspects. The topography of grassland ecosystems is a varied landscape of gently rolling hills and prairies, rock outcrops, cliffs, gullies, and low lying areas. Diverse topography is what gives incredible variety to grassland ecosystems. Aspect refers to the direction in which a piece of land is facing. Areas that face towards the south, or the sun, are hotter and drier than areas that face north, or away from the sun. The slope of an area is the angle at which the land lies.
