S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.

Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Firstly, there are 3 types of seismic waves. Long Waves, Primary Waves(Longitudinal) and Secondary Waves(Transverse). Long Waves travel quickly along the Earth's crust, the thin outer layer. Primary Waves are longitudinal waves, they can travel both through solids andliquids, so they travel through the crust, the mantle, and the outer core (note that they refract through each layer, as each layer has a different density. Secondary Waves are transverse waves, they can only travel through solids, so they go through the inner and outer mantles, and curve away from the cores.
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
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.
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
Scientists suspect that the outer core is liquid because of its interaction with seismic waves. Actually, only one segment of inner earth is theorized to be liquid. This segment is known as the outer core
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
Seismic waves react differently when passing through fluids and different densities of solid material. Seismic wave interpretations reveal that only the outer core is essentially a liquid.

There are two types of waves ; P waves and S waves . P waves can travel through solids , liquids , and gases . S waves can only travel through solids . The mantle is pure solid rock ; the outer core is made of liquid-iron and nickel . In other words , only P waves can travel through both the mantle and the core . Hope this helps ! Give thanks to 7th grade Earth science ! :D
S-waves travel only through solids.
