S (Secondary or shear) waves Defined

S waves oscillate the ground perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. They travel about 1.7 times slower than P waves. Because liquids will not sustain shear stresses, S waves will not travel through liquids like water, molten rock, or the Earth's outer core. (USGS National Earthquake Information Center, 1998)

This definition is in context to Earthquake. See more contextual defintions for S (Secondary or shear) waves.
