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.

We manufacture spiral pipe in 18, 20, 22, & 24 gauge galvanized metal. Stronger than other pipe â Our Spiral pipe is up to 20% stronger than smooth pipe systems of the same gauge, due to the added spiral reinforcement. No painting required on our spiral pipe, will last years outdoors.Spiral Pipe is available in 3-inch to 42-inch diameter in five foot lengths.It is considerably stronger than longitudinal pipe of the equivalent gauge. All 22 gauge Spiral Pipe measures 1/16â³ less than the noted diameter on the inside (I.D.).piral Pipe is available in 3-inch to 42-inch diameter in five foot lengths. It is considerably stronger than longitudinal pipe of the equivalent gauge.
