S-waves, or shear waves, do not pass through Earth's liquid outer core. Unlike P-waves (primary waves), which are compressional and can travel through both solids and liquids, S-waves can only move through solids. This inability to traverse the liquid outer core provides crucial evidence for the Earth's internal structure.
What else can I help you with?
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
Is earths outer core liquid or solid?
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
What is the layer inside the earth that creates the earths magnetosphere?
The Liquid Outer Core.
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.
Is the earths outer core hot solid or hot liquid or cold solid or cold liquid?
The Earth's outer core is believed to be a hot liquid layer composed primarily of iron and nickel. It is responsible for generating the planet's magnetic field through convective motion of the molten metal.
What is the liquid layer of the earths core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
How do you know earths outer core is liquid?
Volcanoes allow the molten lava from the outer core to pass through weak spots in the mantle.
Is the earths outer core a cold liquid?
no
How does earths inner core affect seismic waves?
They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core
What is Difference between earths inner core and outer core?
The inner core Is solid and the outer core in liquid
What are the parts of the earths core?
The solid inner and liquid outer core.
Is earths outer core liquid or solid?
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
Describe earths outer core?
hot liquid layer
Is the earths outer core made of solid metal?
No it is liquid
Is Earth's inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core?
Yes earths inner core is a dense ball of metal earths outer core is a layer of molten (melted) metal
What have seismic studies discovered about earths core?
the outer core is liquid; the inner core is solid
Is earths core liquid or solid?
Both! The outer core is in a liquid state and the inner core is a solid. Both the inner and outer core are formed mainly of iron and nickel.
