It would be necessary to know at what speed you intend to travel through the outer core.

What body wave can't move through the liquid outer core?
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
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 happens when p waves and S waves try to pass through the outer core?
s waves cant travel through it
How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
Which type of seismic wave can be detected on the opposite side of earth from an earthquake?
P-waves as they are able to travel through the liquid outer core of the earth, where as S-waves are not.
What body wave can't move through the liquid outer core?
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
What earth layer are s waves not transmitted?
S waves can not travel through liquids, the outer core is a liquid, so the S waves can not travel through the outer core. You can also determine that since the outer core is all around the inner core, that the S waves can no travel through the inner core as well.
Do p waves travel through the crust mantle outer and inner core?
Yes, however s waves can't; they can only travel through solids, therefore they cannot travel through the outer core, which is liquid.
Which type of waves can travel through earth's outer cores?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
What happens when s waves hit the outer core of earth?
Because the Earth's core is liquid; S-waves can't travel through liquid.
What would you experience if you could travel from the outer core to the inner core?
The temp. would increase!
What is one way that scientist the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
What layer of Earth do Secondary waves NOT travel through?
Outer core and Mantle
What is one way that scientists know the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
What is one way scientist know the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
What is one way the scientists know the outer core is liquid?
some kinds of seismic waves cannot travel through liquids, such as the outer core.
What happens to seismic waves when they pass through the liquid outer core?
There are two types of waves. There are S waves (sheer waves) and P waves (compressional waves). The S waves won't travel through the outer core because it's a liquid, but the P waves will go through it and continue going through the inner core as well.
