A longitudinal wave has divergent vibrations.
sound waves aka pressure waves
logitudional waves travel by air particals they touchg each other and pass won the vibration
Tidal waves are longitudinal waves. They move in the direction of the wave energy transfer, which in this case is the direction of the tide's gravitational pull.
It is compressions
A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
Seismic waves, specifically compressional or primary waves (P-waves), move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion. These waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's interior.
A wave that is a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves is called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two mediums, exhibiting characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves. These waves are commonly seen in earthquakes and ocean waves.
They need not be longitudinal; but in the case of the sound we usually hear (in air) this is due to the fact that air is a gas.
Two examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves and seismic waves. Sound waves travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the material in the same direction as the wave's propagation. Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and move through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock particles in the direction of the wave.
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
The combination of a transverse waves and a longitudinal waves produce surface waves. The waves found in water are a good example. When a wave moves through the waver, particles travel in clockwise circles, and the radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases.
Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling, not parallel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling.
