The coils bunch up and spread out ALONG the slinky, like a push traveling down a hallway.\n- S wave: shake one end side to side. The slinky wiggles like a snake, side to side, while the wave moves along.\n\nFACTS:\n- P waves are faster, arrive first at a seismograph (\"P = primary\").\n- S waves are slower, arrive second (\"S = secondary\").\n- Liquids: I wrote \"S waves travel through liquid, P waves don't.\"\n   ** Mr. Bauer: Backwards! P waves CAN travel through liquid. S waves CANNOT. That's how we know Earth's outer core is liquid. **\n\nTextbook words (we're NOT using them on this quiz): longitudinal, transverse, compressional.\n\nQuiz Friday: draw and explain.
