hey,

Transverse-waves need a medium rigid enough to propagate, which liquids can't provide. ... The particles in transverse waves move perpendicularly to the direction of propagation so it cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.
