For 10 points, name these transverse waves that travel from the epicenter of an earthquake at a slower speed than their longitudinal counterpart, P-waves.
These waves are incapable of traveling through the liquid portion of earth's core. They can, however, be produced and travel through the inner core, telling scientists about its structure.
