The answer is liquid(molten material)

The S waves are called shear waves. The core is made up of molten material which does not allows S waves to be transmitted through it. The waves coming from mantle is not further transferred and is absorbed by the core. The waves are not transmitted through the outer core and this makes a shadow zone. The waves are not recorded at the shadow part. The phenomenon is used to predict the size of the core which is 3470 kilometers in radius.

The S waves can’t travel through liquids and the Earth’s outer core is molten.  When the S waves reach the lithosphere’s liquid core, it gets reflected.  S waves travel through solids only, thus Earth’s outer core will not transmit S waves.

What role do bacteria play in an aquaponics system?
expeople1 [14]

They transform fish waste into plant food.

They break down dead plant matter

The most important bacteria in aquaponics are the nitrifiers that turn ammonia excreted by fish into nitrites and nitrates that can be taken up by the plants (hydroponic)

Explanation:

Aquaponics is system of farming that combines hydroponics and aquaculture with the two systems being interdependent due to nutrient cycling. Occasionally, some dead matter such as excrement falls from the fishes and  plants and into the system. The bacteria break this organic matter to release the nutrients (nitrites and nitrates) hence making them available for uptake by plants. This cleans the water and makes it available again for the fishes.

After the egg is fertilized what does the ovary grow into
vfiekz [6]
<span>As the pollen tube penetrates the ovule, it releases two sperm cells. As in gymnosperms, the ovule becomes a seed, encasing the embryo and endosperm in a seed coat. But unlike gymnosperms, in angiosperms the ovary containing the ovules develops into a fruit after fertilization.</span>
