Heat treated orange juice, both pasteurized and concentrate, are being increasingly

Crustal and upper mantle structures in the West Philippine Basin,
along 17-18°N, have been determined using explosions as sources and
ocean bottom seismometers to measure refracted compressional waves.
Seismic refraction profiles out to nearly 500 km were completed.
Shallow structure was measured using small shots, 1-240 lbs., and
the deeper...
