Definitely compression, the reason it may look like transverse-seeing rising waves on a shore-is because the molecules spread out in the transverse direction when they are put under pressure in an axial direction.

Are surface waves compression waves?

No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.


How does a windmill pump water?

As the reciprocating pump operates through the reciprocation of the follower, it guides the suction and the compression of the water in the pipe. That's so when the rotary motion of the rotor blade is converted into the reciprocating motion, which delivers it to the reciprocating pump, the suction and discharge takes place.

How do you find motion?

Projectile motion is a form of motion in which a projectile is thrown near the earth's surface. When thrown, the projectile moves along a curved path because of gravity. An example of projectile motion is a sprinkler shooting water into the air and the water falling back down to Earth.

What is a good example of compression?

how bout say our sun which works off compression and (expansion). but most things are compress due to gravity. there are how ever some things that can't be compressed i.e. h2o aka water!!
