They need a medium to propagate through.
The speed of a wave depends only on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the medium or environment through which the wave propagates. It doesn't depend on the wave's frequency or wavelength.
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
-- The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical characteristics of the stuff it's moving through. If it's moving through vacuum, then it depends on the permeability and permittivity of vacuum, and comes out to be 299,792,458 meters per second. -- The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical characteristics of the stuff it's moving through. If there's no material stuff there, then the speed is zero.
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
The frequency of any wave is completely determined at its source, and doesn'tchange once the wave leaves the source.The speed of the wave depends on the characteristics of the medium throughwhich it's traveling ... of mechanical waves by the physical characteristics of themedium, and of electromagnetic waves by its electrical characteristics.

A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave.
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.

ultrasound wave is a wave due to mechanical vibration,
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
