Rarefaction.
they are called compressions
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
sound waves travel faster in solid in a wave form motion that parts of could be called longitudinal;drop a rock in a lake and the ripples are the same type as sound waves
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)

P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
There are no waves that are specifically called "volcanic waves"; however, a volcanic eruption can of course cause seismic waves. These can be longitudinal or transverse.
sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.
