A characteristic of compressional waves and shear waves is that they both
seismic studies which indicate that shear waves do not pass through the outer core
undersea earthquakes
P-waves, only
travel at different rates through different materials
waves are going into a material with different properties
travel faster through more dense solid materials
less
The P-wave has a greater velocity than the S-wave
