Question

why arent s waves recorded in all of the locations that p waves are recorded? s waves arent recorded in all of the locations that p waves are recorded because

Explanation:

S waves (shear waves) can't travel through liquid, while P waves (primary waves) can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The Earth's outer core is liquid. So when S waves reach the liquid outer core, they can't pass through it, creating a shadow zone where S waves aren't recorded, but P waves can still be detected in those areas as they can move through the liquid outer core.

Answer:

S waves can't travel through liquid (the Earth's outer core is liquid), while P waves can travel through liquid, so S waves have a shadow zone where they aren't recorded but P waves are.
