An S-wave is a type of seismic wave in an earthquake.
In an S-wave, the medium is displaced in a transverse (up and down - compared to the line of travel) way, and the medium must shear or "move away" from the material right next to it to cause the shear and transmit the wave.
S waves are secondary waves that vibrate from side and side as well as up and down. S waves shake buildings violently and cannot move through liquids.
See the related questions and related link to Wikipedia for additional information.
s-waves are secondary waves first come primary wave the secondary wave and then surface wave.
Seismic / Earthquake Answer:
P and S-waves are seismic waves emitted during an earthquake. P-waves are known as primary waves as they are recorded first by thermometers due to their higher speed of travel than S-waves (which are secondary waves as they reach the isomerism after the P-waves due to their lower speed of propagation through the earth.
P-waves are a longitudinal or compression wave and S-waves are transverse or shear waves.
A P-wave can penetrate through the entire earth, every level (mantle, crust, core) while the S-wave can only go through solid layers and not the outer core (which is a liquid).
Human Anatomical Answer:
P-waves represent the sequential activation of the right and left atria, and it is commonly has a notched or aphasic P wave of right and left atrial activation
any negative deflection after an R wave is called S wave
there are 2 different types of waves
1) S-wave
2)p-wave
S wave is known as secondary wave.S waves causes up and down motion of earth's surface.
P wave are known as primary waves . they travels like sound waves (i.e extension and compression) they travels much faster than other waves . these waves are first to made impact on earthquake site...............viz^_^
Yes. It is a type of transverse (or shear) seismic body wave (it travels through the earth, not at the surface). It is known as a secondary wave because it is the second type of wave to be recorded on a seismometer after an earthquake occurs.
S waves, or secondary waves is a kind of seismic waves released when an earthquake occurs. S waves can travel through only solids. S waves are slower that primary waves, and faster than surface waves.
Are the second type to be recorded. They are transverse waves which cause sideways and vertical shaking of the rocks. S waves cannot travel through liquids
S waves move back and forth and can't go through liquids. But they can go through solid material. If it hits liquid it either turns into a p wave or bounces back.

Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
The only reason that the p wave arrives faster than an s wave is because the p wave comes first in the chain. Thus, depending on the type of earthquake, the s wave tends to come 1-3 hours after the p wave.
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.

sound wave is a longitudinal wave
The term used in seismology is the S-wave.

The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
The type of earthquake wave that moves only through the crust and mantle is called the S-wave (secondary wave). S-waves are slower than P-waves, cannot propagate through liquids like the outer core, and cause side-to-side shaking motion.
The Secondary or S-wave.
