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.
Primary waves (P-waves) travel faster than secondary waves (S-waves) through the Earth's interior. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids.
S-waves, or secondary waves, cannot travel through water because they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Water lacks the necessary material properties (shear strength) to transmit these waves.
Surface waves, also known as Love and Rayleigh waves, do not travel through the core of the Earth. These waves move along the surface of the Earth and are responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake.

Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
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.
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.
Primary waves (P-waves) travel faster than secondary waves (S-waves) through the Earth's interior. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are shear waves that only travel through solids.
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, do not travel through the outer core of the Earth due to its liquid state. S-waves can only propagate through solid materials.
S-waves, or secondary waves, cannot travel through water because they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Water lacks the necessary material properties (shear strength) to transmit these waves.
No. S-waves (also known as secondary waves) can only travel through solids, not liquids or gases unlike the P-waves.
Primary waves and secondary waves (body waves). Love waves and rayleigh waves (surface waves) do not travel through the earth's mantle. Though secondary waves do not go through liquids, the asthenosphere is only a semi-liquid, so secondary waves can still go through it.
Surface waves, also known as Love and Rayleigh waves, do not travel through the core of the Earth. These waves move along the surface of the Earth and are responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake.
Secondary waves, or S-waves, require a medium with solid properties to propagate, as they involve shear deformation of the material. Liquids do not have shear strength, so S-waves cannot travel through them. As a result, S-waves cannot pass through liquids like water or magma.
