Why don't S-waves travel through liquids? (1 point)
• Because the bulk modulus of liquids is close to 0.
• Because they are transverse waves.
Because the rigidity modulus of liquids is close to 0.
• Because they are longitudinal waves.

Because the rigidity (shear) modulus of liquids is essentially zero — liquids cannot support shear stress, so transverse S‑waves cannot propagate through them.
