Why do S waves not come to the surface beyond the shadow zone?
S waves dont even reach the shadow zone because they are unable to penetrate the outer core. They are basically stopped by the shadow zone.
What does the shadow zone tell you about earths interior?

Why is Gliese 581 g nicknamed goldilocks?
Because Gliese 581 g, if it exists, is located near the middle of the habitable zone (or Goldilocks zone - [See related question]) of its parent star.
The shadow zone exists due to the of seismic waves?
refraction refraction
The shadow zone exists why?
The mantle and core are composed of the same material.APEX
The shadow zone exists because?
sunlight blocks out S waves in certain regions.
Which area of earth is unaffected by both p and s waves?
The Crust of the Earth

What does the shadow zone tell scientists about the earth core?
the shadow zone is a result of the core stopping
What does the shadow zone tell scientists about the earth's core?
the shadow zone is a result of the core stopping
What is a gravity zone?
gravity zone is the area where gravity exists.
Does a primary seismic wave have a larger shadow zone than a secondary wave?
no, an s-wave shadow zone is way larger
Why is s wave shadow zone larger than the p wave shadow zone?
In simple terms the shadow zone of the S-wave is larger because of the Earth's liquid outer core. The S-wave cannot travel through the liquid outer core but the P-waves get refracted at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. This is why the S-wave shadow zone is larger than the P wave shadow zone. P waves are refracted at the liquid outer core of the Earth, while S waves are attenuated or stopped entirely. This allows P waves to go "around" the core and reach locations on the far side of the Earth that are within the shadow of the S waves. -- A P-wave is a longitudinal wave with an alternating stretching and compressing motion in the direction of propagation. An S wave is a transverse wave with a vertical motion perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The shadow zone of a P-wave exists from 105 to 143 degrees (epicentral distance). This is caused by P waves meeting the liquid outer core and being refracted. Part of the P wave is also reflected by the outer core and as a result of the two, a shadow zone exists. The shadow zone of an S-wave exists from 105 to 180 degrees (epicentral distance). S-waves cannot travel through liquids at all so rather than being refracted by the liquid outer core and traveling through it, they are totally reflected, resulting in a shadow zone from 105 to 180 degrees.
Are there such things as shadow Pokemon cards?
Only Shadow Lugia exists in the card game.
