Compressions and rarefractions make up sound waves.
These look like squashed up coils of a spring and then stretched out coils.
Try using a slinky on the ground to show it. Grab a friend, and hold both ends of the slinky stretched across the room, then push at one end. You will see the compression move along the slinky. Do it over again rapidly and you will see the series of compressions, which mirrors the behavior of a sound wave.

A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and what?
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.
What type of wave is sound wave?
A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.
A sound wave is made of a series of compressions and?
Rarefractions
What does a compression wave moving outward from its source produce?
Sound wave
What is a compression wave of gas liquid or solid that is detected by your ear?
A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.

Does sound travel in a compressional or surface wave?
Compression
What is rare faction of sound wave?
A rare faction is an area of a sound wave where there is lesser compression of the medium,ie Rarefaction is the reduction of a medium's density, or the opposite of compression
Which part of sound wave has molecules that are tightly packed together?
it is called the compression
