What happens to S waves and P waves as they pass through the Earth's inner core?
its simple. they dont
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the solid inner core?
Seismic waves than changes direction and speed because of the matter it's passing through and the moving from different matter's (Inner core-Outer core)
How do data seismic waves indicate that earths outer core is liquid?
Because since secondary waves cannot pass through liquids or solids, and the waves can't pass thruogh the outer core than that means that the outer core is not soild.
Does not pass through earth's liquid outer core?
S-Waves
Which conclusion based on the analysis of seismic data supports the inference that earths outer core is liquid?
there are convection currents in the upper core.
What type of earthquake waves can not pass through the earths inner core?
Most of them, as the Earth's inner core is equivalent to that of the sun.
How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
Which wave type can pass through the solid inner core?
s waves

Why can't s waves pass trough the earth's core while p waves can?
This is because the Outer Core is liquid, and we know from experiments that S-waves cannot travel through liquids. If they could pass through the outer core, they could pass through the Inner, but they are absorbed by the first barrier, at the Gutenberg Discontinuity.
Why is the s-wave shadow zone larger than the p- wave shadow zone?
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
Shear waves will not pass through the?
Shear waves will not pass through the molten outer core of the Earth.
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the liquid outer core?
There are two types of waves. There are S waves (sheer waves) and P waves (compressional waves). The S waves won't travel through the outer core because it's a liquid, but the P waves will go through it and continue going through the inner core as well.
Why are S- waves not always recored at all locations?
'S' or shear waves can not pass though the liquid portion of the earth's core and the core casts a shadow. Thus as S-waves don't penetrate the outer core, they're shadowed everywhere more than 104° away from the epicentre of the earthquake.
