A wave may only travel through matter of some kind. 'Sound must have a medium in which to travel'. There is no matter in space, and so sound cannot be heard. (Sound is a wave)
What kind of energy does a sound wave carry?
A sound wave contains sound energy, a form of kinetic energy in which the molecules of a substance are vibrated to create a noise. (Note: Sound is not always audible to humans!)
What kind of wave is an echo?
An echo of a wave is exactly the same type of wave as the original wave. An echo is simply the original wave returning to the observer, so if you made a sound (a longitudinal wave of vibrating air molecules), the echo is also sound waves.
