An S wave is slower than a P wave and only moves through solid rock. This wave moves rock up and down, or side-to-side. Because P waves are compression waves, they can move through a liquid. However, S waves cannot move through a liquid. This is because a liquid is not rigid enough to transmit an S wave.
Rayleigh waves are the slowest of all the seismic wave types and in some ways the most complicated. Like Love waves they are dispersive so the particular speed at which they travel depends on the wave period and the near-surface geologic structure, and they also decrease in amplitude with depth.
