Planiform

a planiform, gliding, or arthrodial articulation

The articulations of the second row of the carpus, which constitutes what may be named the pro-carpus, are likewise of the planiform kind, and are completed by palmar, dorsal and interosseous ligaments, that between the os magnum and unciform being very strong.

Some computer models allow periods of convection dominated by plumes, and others dominated by overturning planiform cells similar to the present Earth.

Towards the end of the seventeenth century, a new style of planiform carving emerged on church exteriors in the Andean altiplano from Arequipa to Lake Titicaca and across the Bolivian highlands.
