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

What cant secondary waves travel through?
Ocean
What happens when p waves and S waves try to pass through the outer core?
s waves cant travel through it
Why cant sound waves travel through a vaccuum?
No medium to carry the sound energy.
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Why can't sound waves travel though space?
sound waves cant travel through space because there is no oxygen, and if there is no oxygen there is nothing to carry the sound waves. youre welcom theSas
Why cant sound trave through empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
How have scientist determined that the outer core of earth is liquid?
Scientists have determined that the outer core of Earth is liquid through seismic wave analysis. By studying the behavior of seismic waves as they pass through the Earth, scientists have found that S-waves are unable to travel through the outer core, indicating that it is liquid. This information has been crucial in our understanding of Earth's structure and dynamics.
Why cant sound pass through a vacuum?
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid material. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to propagate, so sound cannot travel through it.
Why cant P or S waves be detected in the shadow zone?
P (primary) waves can travel through both liquids and solids, while S (secondary) waves can only travel through solids. The shadow zone for seismic waves occurs on the opposite side of the Earth from an earthquake's epicenter, where S waves are not detected because they cannot pass through the liquid outer core. P waves are detected in the shadow zone but at a reduced intensity due to their refraction when transitioning from the solid mantle to the liquid outer core. Thus, the absence of S waves and the diminished presence of P waves in this region explain why it is termed a shadow zone.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?
no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.
What is something you cant see touch or feel but you can hear it?
Sound. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium such as air and can be heard by our ears.
