Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?

While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.


What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?

Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.


Explain how we know what the inside of the earth looks like if we have never been there?

We know about the inside of the Earth through seismic waves, which are waves generated by earthquakes. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected and measured by seismographs on the surface. By analyzing how these waves behave and interact with different materials inside the Earth, scientists can infer the composition and structure of the Earth's interior.


What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?

Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.


Which type of waves can travel through earth's outer cores?

Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.


What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?

Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.


Why can't s waves travel through earth?

S waves cannot travel through liquid. The Earth's core is liquid.

The shadow zone is caused by of waves as they travel through Earth.?

The shadow zone is caused by S-waves as they travel through Earth. S-waves, however, cannot travel through the outer core of the Earth, which is molten. This is because S-waves lose velocity when travelling through a liquid.
