Real/scalar waves and vector waves, commonly called longitudinal and transverse waves. The two waves are the scalar wave and the vector wave of a Quaternion Wave.

Consider Quaternion Energy W = -vh/r + cP = [-vh/r, cP] the wave equations is

the Second Derivative or Curvature:

X2W = [d/dr, Del]2 [-vh/r, cP] = [(d2/dr2 - Del2), 2d/dr Del ] [-vh/r, cP]

X2W = [-(d2/dr2 - Del2)vh/r - 2cd/dr Del.P, (d2/dr2 - Del2)cP + 2d/dr( Del -vh/r + cDelxP) ]

The Longitudinal wave is the Scalar Wave (Del.P) and the Transverse Wave (DelxP) is the vector Wave.

The Moon exerts a small force of gravity on everything on Earth. The force is too small to move almost anything, but it is enough to pull the water in the oceans several inches toward the Moon. This is called an ocean tide. Actually, the water gets higher on the side toward the Moon, and on the side completely opposite the Moon. It's lower in between.

Since the Earth spins once in a day, and there is "high tide" on the side towards and away from the Moon, most places on Earth have 2 high tides per day.

Some different types of waves are: light, sound, and seismic.

Waves can be classified as mechanical or electromagnetic, and transverse or longitudinal. There are many other types of waves depending on what you are talking about, but all waves are classified as two of these.

A wave at the ocean's surface is an orbital wave, also called an interface wave. Orbital motion is a combination of the motion in longitudinal and transverse waves, and it transmits energy between the air and the water.
