P-waves, or primary waves, are a type of seismic wave that travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are longitudinal waves, meaning that the particle motion is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Therefore, P-waves cannot vibrate at 90 degrees to the wave motion; that characteristic is typical of S-waves (shear waves), which are transverse waves.
A transverse wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
the motion of a wave changes when it moves
A wave has cyclic motion - that is it repeats the motion many times, almost without variation.

Wave Motion - journal - was created in 1979.
A plane wave is characterized by flat wavefronts that travel in a single direction, while a circular wave has wavefronts that move outward in all directions from a central point. The motion of a plane wave is linear and uniform, whereas the motion of a circular wave is radial and diverging.
Particles or floating objects on the surface of a water wave move in a circular motion as the wave passes beneath them. This circular motion is a combination of the wave's horizontal movement and the vertical oscillation of the particle due to the wave's up and down motion.
a transverse wave
The media motion of a surface wave consists of particles in the medium moving in a circular or elliptical motion. As the wave passes through a medium boundary, the motion of the particles is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motion. This unique motion causes the surface wave to travel along the boundary of the two mediums.
There are three general types of mechanical waves: – Transverse – particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. – Longitudinal – particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. – Combined – sea waves.
In Bulk Motion, the actual object is moving along in a wave formation. In Wave Motion, only the wave is moving, not the material . Picture a 'wave' at a ball game. The people move up and down but not from seat to seat. This is Wave Motion.
