KnowraS-waveLinked fromLinked fromThe 17 pages that link to S-wave, each with the reason it gives.All 17Broader topic 10Related 4Compared with 3Seismic waveBroader topic: Its absence beyond Earth's liquid outer core helped establish that the core is liquid.SeismologyBroader topic: Its inability to cross liquids proved Earth's outer core is molten.Seismic tomographyBroader topic: Its speed and absence in liquids help constrain material state and structure.Seismic reflectionBroader topic: Converted and reflected S-waves can add information about subsurface properties.Seismic anisotropyBroader topic: Its polarization and speed are especially sensitive to anisotropy and splitting.Mohorovičić discontinuityBroader topic: Its velocity also changes across the Moho, helping constrain subsurface structure.Seismic velocityBroader topic: Its speed depends on shear rigidity and density, unlike compressional-wave speed.SeismogramBroader topic: Its later arrival helps distinguish seismic phases on the trace.Earth's outer coreBroader topic: S-waves do not propagate through the liquid outer core.Birch's lawBroader topic: Its velocity also relates to density through elastic properties of the solid.
