Mechanical waves are those which requires a material medium to traverse through. Where as electromagnetic waves can pass through both material as well as vacuum. Mechanical waves are of two category. One is longitudinal. Best example is Sound Waves. The particles of the medium through which sound traverses would vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation. The other one is transverse. In this the vibrations of the particle would be perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Example waves on the surface of water. Electromagnetic waves are always transverse in nature as electrical and magnetic vectors would be perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Bets example is visible light.

Winds cause waves to form. The stronger the wind, the larger the waves. Wind transfers its energy to the surface of the water and depending on the strength of the wind, either small or large waves will form.
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.

Imagine a long spring or slinky (the toy). Now if you give a jerk to the spring from one side, while keeping the other end fixed, you will be able to see a compressions travelling from your end to the fixed end of the spring. Congrats, you just saw a longitudinal wave!
