waves are mechanical periodic disturbance that transfer energy.But a particle is different cause a particle could be the substances that vibrates when a wave is in motion.

What is heat energy that is transferred by particles or waves called?
Particles is one thing, waves is something else. Heat transferred by the motion of particles can be conduction or convection. Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves is radiation.
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
What Characteristics of both waves and particles share?
This is a tricky question as all particles can be defined by wave characteristics. In other words, particles and waves share all their characteristics as they are simply the same thing described by a different set of math. Briefly, particles have waves lengths, travel in group waves, possess energy that can be calculated by wave equations, and so on. In my mind a particle (i.e., sub-atomic particle) is simply a packet of waves. In other words both particles and waves have wave length, frequency, energy, periods, intensity, and probably some more that I've forgotten.
Are longitudinal and compressional waves the same thing?
They are indeed both the same:)
What are seismic waves that moves rock particles at right angels to the direction of the wave?
P or Primary waves are longitudinal waves that move rock particles back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.

In which waves do propagation and particles motion occur in the same direction?
p waves (i think)
What type of waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal
Are surface waves and s waves the same thing?
no
What waves is a primary wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in a the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal waves
In which types of waves do the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
longitudinal waves

What kind of waves caused particles of rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction?
Longitudinal or compression waves.
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
