These entities cause no volume changes since they have a dilatation of zero, and when they interact with the surface they can give rise to Love waves through their horizontal components. They cannot pass through the Gutenberg discontinuity because their velocities are directly proportional to the rigidity of their medium, preventing travel through liquids. Hence these waves are unable to move to the outer core, creating a shadow zone beyond 104 degrees from their source. Slower and more destructive than their counterparts, for 10 points, identify these seismic waves th

Slower and more destructive than their counterparts, for 10 points, identify these seismic waves that move the earth perpendicular to their direction of travel unlike P waves.
