Seismic Waves. When you toss a pebble into a pond, it creates radiating waves in the water. An earthquake does the same thing with energy. When the plates fracture or slip, energy is released as seismic waves [source: USGS ]. There are several types of seismic waves. Body waves move through the inside of the Earth. There are two types of body waves: Primary waves (or P waves) are the fastest moving waves, traveling at 1 to 5 miles per second (1.6 to 8 kilometers per second). They can pass through solids, liquids and gases easily.
A #10 screw is bigger than a #8 screw and both of them are smaller than a quarter inch.0 is bigger.... the second number is threads per inch... so 10/32 or 10/24, 24 is a coarse thread and the 32 is a fine thread.... the last number is the length of the screw... 10/32 - 1 1/2 is a #10 screw with 32 threads per inch and is an inch and a half long.

(And with wire gauge sizes, the larger number is for a smaller diameter as with shotgun barrels, the 20 gauge bore diameter is smaller than the 12 gauge bore diameter.) The four number differences in gauge size will create the correctly calibrated bottleneck for the Fusible Link to function.
