The yellow is the region where fluid flow from the Earth's outer core is the greatest. Red mush is the inner core boundary. Large flows exist on an imaginary tangent cylinder due to the effects of the Earth's rotations, fluid viscosity and the presence of the solid inner core within the spherical shell of the outer fluid core.
Growth Rates. Fingernails grow approximately 2 to 3 millimeters, or about 1/8 inch, per month. Toenails grow slower than fingernails, at a rate of about 1 mm per month. Hair, on the other hand, grows at a much faster rate: roughly Â¼ to Â½ inch per month, or 6 inches per year. In fact, after bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body.
Hair and fingernails aren't actually growing. Dead is dead. The only things growing after you're dead are worms, bacteria, and flowers. What is happening, however, is that the skin around the hair and fingernails will desiccate (i.e., lose water) and thereby shrink. When the skin shrinks, it retracts, making hair and fingernails look longer, as if they'd grown. Think of it this way: a fifty foot tree grows in ten feet of swamp water. The visible part of the tree is 40' tall. A few months later, a drought causes the water level to drop five feet.
