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 size designations up through size 8 are the number of eighths of an inch in the diameter of a plain round bar having the same weight per foot as the deformed bar. So, for example, a number 5 bar would have the same mass per foot as a plain bar 5/8 inch in diameter.The metric size is the same dimension expressed to the nearest millimeter. The sizes of the large bars are based on the square rebars formerly made.Size 9 has the same weight per foot and cross sectional area as a 1-inch square bar, size 10 as a 1 1/8-inch square bar, size 11 as a 1Â¼-inch square bar, size 14 as a 1Â½-inch square bar, and size 18 as a 2-inch square bar.o, for example, a number 5 bar would have the same mass per foot as a plain bar 5/8 inch in diameter. The metric size is the same dimension expressed to the nearest millimeter. The sizes of the large bars are based on the square rebars formerly made.
