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.

Itâs not hard to see that it takes more lead balls in 20-gauge to equal a pound than it does a 12-gauge, thus, the 20-gauge bore diameter is smaller than a 12-gauge. The common lineup of gauges made today (from smallest to largest) are .410-bore (again, not actually a gauge, but a common shotgun chambering), 28-gauge, 20-gauge, 16-gauge, 12-gauge and 10 gauge.
