What type of wave is formed when particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough?
Transverse wave
When particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough what type of wave is formed?
Transverse wave
Are the waves formed by sound transverse waves?
They are longitudinal waves. Because they form compressions & rarefactions when they move.
The type of waves formed by shaking a rope are called?
the answer is longitudinal wavethe above answer would be incorrect. The correct answer is transverse wave.

What mountain ranges were formed by folding?
Alps
What is a transverse sand dune?
