It is called the shadow zone, an area at an angle of between 104° and 140° from the axis of the epicenter, where the earth's liquid outer core has refracted the P-waves away from the direct line of travel.
What else can I help you with?
What is in the area where no seismic wave are detected?
Stress waves
An area where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be detected?
shadow zone
What is shadow zones?
An area on Earth's surface where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be detected.
What does the shadow zone tell scientists about Earths interior?
The shadow zone is an area on Earth's surface where no seismic waves are detected after an earthquake. This helps scientists understand the Earth's interior structure, as the absence of seismic waves in this zone indicates the presence of a liquid outer core that blocks the transmission of certain seismic waves.
How do the data from the movement of seismic waves help determine the earthquake risk for an area?
If an area has a strong amount of seismic waves along, or around, you can predict if an area is active for earthquakes

Why can s waves not be detected everywhere on earth after an earthquake?
S waves, or secondary waves, are a type of seismic wave that can only travel through solids. Since the Earth's outer core is liquid, S waves cannot pass through it, which creates an area on the opposite side of the Earth from an earthquake's epicenter where these waves are not detected. This results in an S-wave shadow zone, typically located between 103 and 180 degrees from the earthquake's source, where no S waves are recorded. Thus, their inability to traverse liquid prevents them from being detected everywhere on Earth after an earthquake.
