No, secondary waves (S-waves) cannot travel through the Earth's surface. They are a type of seismic wave that move through the Earth's interior and cannot propagate in liquids or gases, making them unable to travel through the surface.

earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
Yes, radio waves can penetrate Earth's atmosphere. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are able to pass through the atmosphere with minimal interference, which allows them to be used for various forms of communication, such as radio and television broadcasts.
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
There is no seismic wave that can only pass through the Earth's mantle. However S-waves can not travel through earth's outer core because it is a liquid.
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
