Do transverse waves move perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the wave?
They move perpendicular to the direction they transfer
What type of wave does matter move in the same direction as the wave is travelling?
Sound waves. Also ocean waves. Also earthquake waves. Also explosion waves.
What direction do plates move when creating a volcano?
They can move apart or in some rare cases together.
In Which direction does a reverse fault cause the land to move?
Up
Does a shadow of a sundial move in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?
clockwise
Are the waves formed by sound transverse waves?
They are longitudinal waves. Because they form compressions & rarefactions when they move.
How do the particles move in the ground when p waves pass through it?
P waves are longitudinal mechanical waves which are formed from alternating compressions and rarefactions. In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.The particles do not move with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Thus particles in the ground move or vibrate along or parallel to the traveling direction of the P wave when it passes through them..
What type of wave is sound waves?
sound waves are compression waves, or longitudinal waves. sounds that we hear are actually just compressions and rarefactions of air particles, meaning the air particles move closer together for a time period then spread apart farther then they normally would(a rarefaction)
Is audio signal an electromagnetic signal?
Because Audio waves move as sound waves through air as condensations and rarefactions or slight compressions and partial vacuums of gas molecules and can be stopped by the walls of a house.

How do air molecules enable sound to travel from a radio speaker to your ear?
Sounds waves are compressional, and compressional waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions. When the radio speaker pumps sound outward, it forms a compression by pushing the molecules in air together. The compression moves away from the speaker as these molecules collide with other molecules in air. When the sound travels back, a rarefaction is formed where the molecules are farther apart. The air molecules form compressions and rarefactions. Compressions and rarefactions make up compressional waves. A sound wave is a compressional wave.
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
Do Compressional waves move back and forth at a right angle to the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions, they move parallel to the direction of propagation Transverse waves have peaks and troughs, the mover perpendicular to the direction of propagation l l l l lll l l l l l l l l lll l l l l l lll l l l l l l lll l l - Longitudinal ...... ..... .... ...... ...... ..... ..... .... ..... ...... ..... .... .... - Transverse ..... .... .... .... .... ... .... ......
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?
The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)
Is it true when giving chest compressions allow the chest to move all the way back up between compressions?
yes, you should allow the chest to move all the way back to perform proper compressions
