When S-waves reach the outer core of the Earth they stop and when P-waves reach the outer core of the Earth they slow down. What is the reason for this speed change?

• The outer core is a solid and P-waves don't go through solids.

• The outer core is a liquid and P-waves slow down in liquids and S-waves don't go through liquids.

• The outer core is made of iron and S-waves don't go through iron and P-waves always slow down in iron.

• The outer core is a putty-like material and S-waves don't go through putty and P-waves slow down in putty like material.
