yes and no gas has no definite volume or mass
longitudinal
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
Yes. The other type of wave is longitudinal, which is what sound waves are.
sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.
sound waves travel faster in solid in a wave form motion that parts of could be called longitudinal;drop a rock in a lake and the ripples are the same type as sound waves

there are two types of sound waves. (1) transverses waves (2) longitudinal waves

Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, and they require a medium for propagation.
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.

Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
True. The up-down type of wave is called a "transverse wave". Light, for example, is this kind of wave. Sound, however, is a different kind of wave. It is the back-forth type, called "longitudinal", or "compression" waves.
