Briefly explain how P-wave arrival times that occur later than expected at some locations on Earth serves as evidence of a liquid outer core inside the Earth’s interior.

P-waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. P-waves slow down as they travel through substances that have lower densities. This causes P-waves to arrive at some locations later than expected. Most liquids have lower density than solids, therefore, these later arrival times due to slower velocities are evidence of a liquid outer core in the Earth’s interior.
