Question

Unlike P waves, S waves cannot travel through liquids, Based on this information, as well as the compositional layers of
Earth, how would an observer experience an earthquake that occurred on the opposite side of the planet? Use the terms
"P wave" and "S wave."

Answer 1

Answer: They would only experience the P wave, because the S wave would not be able to travel through the liquid outer core ( and, therefore, would also not reach the inner core).
