Your posture is the characteristic way you position your body; normal posture changes many times throughout the day. Sometimes, however, a person's body curvature can become excessive and unchanging. Hyperkyphosis can result from conditions such as osteoporosis or thinning bones, and fractures of the vertebrae that result from thin bones. However, research has found that two thirds of people with hyperkyphosis do not have spinal fractures.", "Definition/Description. Thoracic hyperkyphosis can be defined as an increase in the flexion curve in the thoracic region and can be characterized by an excessive thoracic curve. This kind of curvature is commonly referred to as hunchback. A kyphosis angle over 50° is currently the standard for defining hyperkyphosis. Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a defect that is easy to see from the side, in a lateral point of view. A normal standing alignment of the thoracic spine is a flexion curve of ± 40° . The shape of this curvature is attributed to a slight wedging of the vertebrae.", "Hyperkyphosis is a spinal deformity that looks like a forward-curved posture of the head, upper back or thoracic spine. It can become excessive over time. The worsening of the curvature is associated with a higher risk of health problems. Hyperkyphosis can result from conditions such as osteoporosis or thinning bones, and fractures of the vertebrae that result from thin bones. However, research has found that two thirds of people with hyperkyphosis do not have spinal fractures.", "Hyperkyphosis is the term given to an accentuated thoracic spinal curvature. Hyperkyphosis in children is usually due to the disease known as “Scheuermann’s Kyphosis” or it can be postural (wedging of 3 or more vertebral bodies and discs). In children, a thoracic curve greater than 50° is termed as “hyperkyphosis”. Hyperkyphosis in adults can have many contributory factors, the most notable being vertebral fractures and/or osteoporosis as well as posture. In adults, a thoracic curve above 60° is generally classed as “Hyperkyphosis”.", "Kyphosis is a progressive spinal disorder that can affect children or adults. This disorder may cause a deformity described as humpback or hunchback. Kyphosis can be in the form of hyperkyphosis or sharp angular gibbus deformity (see 'Gibbus Deformity' below). Abnormal kyphotic curves are more commonly found in the thoracic or thoracolumbar spine, although they can be cervical. ", "Hyperkyphosis is also sometimes known simply as kyphosis, increased kyphosis or exaggerated kyphotic curvature. This diagnostic conclusion describes an increase or exaggeration in the normal thoracic curvature of the spinal column. Scheuermann's kyphosis is one of the most common types of the condition which is distinctly diagnosed, but postural, nutritional and congenital kyphosis are also identifiable in their patterns.

Crabs (and other crustaceans) cannot grow in a linear fashion like most animals. Because they have a hard outer shell (the exoskeleton) that does not grow, they must shed their shells, a process called molting. Just as we outgrow our clothing, crabs outgrow their shells. The time between molting (the inter-molt period) gets longer with every molt. A 2-year old crab may molt only 3 times, a 3-year old only twice. By the time they are 4 years old, king crabs will molt only once per year. They become sexually mature at about 5 years of age.", "When eating food, mud crabs use their extremely powerful claws-the larger claw as a ‘crusher’ and the smaller claw as a ‘cutter’. Mud crabs also use their claws to defend themselves and can even drop a claw to facilitate escape. A new, fully functional claw will grow back in three to four months. Reproduction. The male can only mate with a female while her shell is soft, a period of about 48 hours after moulting. The megalopa later moults into a stage one crab. Stage one crabs are only about 4 mm wide, but frequent moults mean that they grow very quickly.

The greenhouse effect, in turn, is one of the leading causes of global warming. The most significant greenhouse gases are water vapor (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about 15 °C (27 °F) colder than the present average of 14 °C (57 °F).
