If you mean what are the waves called that spread outwards in circles, those are called capillary waves, or ripples.

What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.
Do the energy in waves move water particles forward?
Not really.The individual water particles in a wave move in a circle (up, forward, down, backward) with very little net resulting travel.
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
Transverse Wave.
In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
What is the distance the particles in a wave move away from their rest position?
Amplitudethe maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.

How do particles in a wave move?
They move in a circular motion
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
Transverse Wave.
When particles of wave move at right angle what type of wave is it?
Transverse wave
In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
Which way does the particles move in a ocean wave?
Perpendicular to the direction of the wave
What mechanical wave move particles perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving?
A sine wave.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?
longitudinal
A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?
Transverse wave
What is the distance the particles in a wave move away from their rest position?
Amplitudethe maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position
