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.

The pounds of pressure figure was rounded to 11. pounds in dial gauge canners to avoid the confusion of. half-pound recommendations. Weighted gauge can-. ners are already machined to operate at 10.5 pounds as. a built-in safety factor when they are set at 10 pounds. The exact time depends on the kind of food being. canned, the way it is packed into jars and the size of the. jars. Botulism is a rare but deadly food poison.
