Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
primary wave
Sound travels as a what?
Sound travels as a wave.
What type of wave that travels in one direction but the energy travels perpendicular to this direction?
trough wave
What wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance?
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
What is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time is called what?
The distance that a wave travels in a certain amount of time is a wavelength. Wrong,it's speed.(:

What is the Difference between wave and tsunami?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
