    1. The document discusses seismic waves and their behavior when passing through different layers of the Earth. 2. P-waves and S-waves behave differently when passing through the outer core. P-waves can pass through but S-waves cannot, creating a "shadow zone" where only P-waves are detected. 3. This provides evidence for the existence of Earth's inner solid core, as the S-wave shadow zone detection supports the theory of an inner core that S-waves cannot pass through.
