  2. Rogue wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave

    A 12 m (39 ft) wave in the usual "linear" model would have a breaking force of 6 metric tons per square metre [t/m 2] (8.5 psi). Although modern ships are typically designed to tolerate a breaking wave of 15 t/m 2 , a rogue wave can dwarf both of these figures with a breaking force far exceeding 100 t/m 2 . [ 117 ]

In this case, it depends on how you define "dissolve" - it may not necessarily mean "solvation". However, in certain fields of chemistry, it is desirable to restrict the definition to liquid solutions.

    Bus network: all nodes are connected to a common medium along this medium. This was the layout used in the original Ethernet , called 10BASE5 and 10BASE2 . This is still a common topology on the data link layer , although modern physical layer variants use point-to-point links instead, forming a star or a tree.

    Fuel consumption monitor from a 2006 Honda Airwave.The displayed fuel economy is 18.1 km/L (5.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg ‑US). A Briggs and Stratton Flyer from 1916. Originally an experiment in creating a fuel-saving automobile in the United States, the vehicle weighed only 135 lb (61.2 kg) and was an adaptation of a small gasoline engine originally designed to power a bicycle.
