Why is it that transverse waves cannot be produced in a gas? Can the transverse waves be produced in solids and liquids?

Explanation

Transverse waves travel in the form of crests and through. They involve changes in the shape of the medium. As gas has no elasticity of shape, hence transverse waves cannot be produced in it. So, they can be transmitted through media which sustain shearing stress such as solids, strings and liquid surface.
