The amplitude of a longitudinal wave is a measure of how compressed or rarefied the medium becomes.
From: Cat (girl who had the exact same question as you... The answer is true because its in 'Prentice Hall Science Explorer Physical Science' book page 478.)

What happened to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
As amplitude increases, the particles in a longitudinal wave become denser.
How is the amplitude of a longitudinal waved measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if?
It has a large amplitude if the compressions of the wave are dense.
What the amplitude of a longitudinal wave?
Depends on the amount of energy in the wave.
What happens to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
the speed at which the energy travels increases.
Is amplitude longitudinal?
Not necessarily. "Amplitude" gives you an idea about how "strong" a wave is; the concept applies both to longitudinal and to transverse waves.
What is a wave described by?
Speed, direction, transverse or longitudinal, frequency and amplitude.
What measures the amount of displacement in longitudinal wave?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
How do you measure amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
Sound is an example of a?
Longitudinal wave Which can be in turn interpreted as a transverse wave. It has frequency, amplitude, crests & through.
Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?
True
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
