    They arrive after P waves.

    They travel through solids.

    They move side to side.

    Explanation:

    Seismic waves are elastic waves that accompanies a large disruption within the earth crust due to the vibration of a body.

    These waves can be confined to the body or travels to the surface. The elastic energy are transmitted as disturbances via the seismic waves.

    Seismic P and S-waves are body waves that permeates through a substance. S-waves in particular are secondary waves that can only move through a body that shears. They are the second to arrive at a seismic station after the p-waves. These waves can only move through solids because liquids and gases cannot be sheared. Their motion direction is side by side in a perpendicular direction to wave motion.
