S-waves, or secondary waves, do not travel through the Earth's outer core, as this layer is composed of liquid. While S-waves can move through solid materials, they cannot propagate through liquids, which is why they are unable to pass through the outer core. This characteristic helps seismologists understand the Earth's internal structure by analyzing the behavior of seismic waves during earthquakes.
