A transverse wave.
Refraction
S-waves can ONLY move through solid rock.
The Secondary or S-wave is a transverse wave associated with earthquakes that can not pass through liquids.
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
S waves move slower than my dump rushing out of my butt.
