Can secondary wave of earthquake travel through sea? |
|
Answer» FOLLOWING an earthquake EVENT, S-waves arrive at seismograph stations after the faster-moving P-waves and displace the ground perpendicular to the direction of PROPAGATION. Shear waves can't TRAVEL through any liquid medium, so the absence of S-wave in earth's outer CORE suggests a liquid state. Hope it helps you! |
