They are longitudinal waves. Because they form compressions & rarefactions when they move.

Why circular waves are formed in water?
transverse waves
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
What kind of waves are not transverse waves?
Waves are often classified as transverse or longitudinal. The sideways vibrations of a string and the surface waves on water are a good examples of transverse waves. Sound waves in fluids (e.g. sound in air, sound traveling under water) are examples of longitudinal waves. In solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Water waves are longitudial waves?
Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.

Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
Sound waves are transverse waves?
Nope, longitudinal.
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?
A good example is vibrating guitar strings, as they are transverse, but the waves given off are sound, and sound is longtitude.

What are the two sound waves called?
Longitudnal waves and Transverse Waves
