Which layers can S-Waves go through? (1 point)

Question

• inner core, mantle, and crust.
• outer core, inner core, and crust.
• outer core, mantle, and crust.
• inner core, outer core, and mantle.

Answer 1

S-waves (secondary or shear waves) cannot travel through fluids. Therefore, they can only travel through solid materials. This means that S-waves can go through the inner core, mantle, and crust.

The correct answer is: • inner core, mantle, and crust.
