Useful information regarding the composition of the interior of the Earth can be derived from earthquakes because earthquake waves
travel faster through more dense solid materials
The P-wave has a greater velocity than the S-wave
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
less
core
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core
travel at different rates through different materials
waves are going into a material with different properties
An abrupt change in the speed of seismic waves is an indication that the

The P-wave has a greater velocity than the S-wave
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.

Compared to the velocity of an earthquake's P-waves, the velocity of the S-waves in the same material is
travel faster through more dense solid materials
The P-wave has a greater velocity than the S-wave
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
less
core
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core
travel at different rates through different materials

Which conclusion based on the analysis of seismic data supports the inference that the Earth's outer core is liquid?
travel faster through more dense solid materials
The P-wave has a greater velocity than the S-wave
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
less
core
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core

A characteristic of compressional waves and shear waves is that they both
travel faster through more dense solid materials
The P-wave has a greater velocity than the S-wave
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
