ans:
interesting question:
I thought about it, and initially thought not, but then thought "what about the surface of the liquid?"
If you strike the surface with a pushing force, the surface will oscillate in a transverse motion.
I believe the answer is yes!

Are sound waves longlitudanal?
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are shock waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
these
Why can't a sound wave be a transverse wave?
Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. (Taken from wikipedia)
Are transverse waves stronger than longitudinal waves?
It depends on what you mean by stronger. Transverse waves aren't able to go through liquids.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
Are S waves transverse or longitudinal?
s waves are transverse
Are sonic waves transverse or longitudinal?
Sonic waves are transverse
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
