How do data seismic waves indicate that earths outer core is liquid?
Because since secondary waves cannot pass through liquids or solids, and the waves can't pass thruogh the outer core than that means that the outer core is not soild.
Which conclusion based on the analysis of seismic data supports the inference that earths outer core is liquid?
there are convection currents in the upper core.
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
What waves are refracted and what waves are absorbed by earth's outer core?
The sudden density change from the lower mantle to the outer core causes P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) to be refracted and S-waves (shear or transverse waves) to be absorbed as the outer core is liquid and so cannot support the propagation of S-waves.
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.

Which earths layer are S waves not transmitted?
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
What was assumed of the inner core as to how it transmitted waves?
We do not see shear (S) waves passing through the outer core. Because liquids can not be sheared, we infer that the outer core is molten. We do, however, see waves that travel through the outer core as P waves, and then transform into S waves as they go through the inner core. Because the inner core does transmit shear energy, we assume it is solid.
Surface Waves?
waves that travels only on the surface
Which conclusion based on the analysis of seismic data supports the inference that earths outer core is liquid?
there are convection currents in the upper core.
Is medium required to transmit light waves?
No. light waves required no medium for transmission.
Which type of seismic wave can only pass through earths mantle?
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.
Can sound waves transmit energy through empty space?
No, sound waves cannot transmit energy through empty space because they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and transmit energy.
What type of waves do fluids transmit and why?
fluids usually transmit only what type of waves
Communications satellites transmit UV waves?
No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
What effects does p and s waves have on earths crust?
They show that the outer core of the Earth is liquid while the inner core is solid.
