It depends on what you mean by stronger. Transverse waves aren't able to go through liquids.

Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.

Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
Are sound waves transverse waves of longitudinal waves why?
The movement of particles in a sound vibration is only along one axis, along the line of travel. Although they are called waves, the motion is not the same as the traditional meaning of 'wave'. Subscribe to BU1BASAUR on youtube
Are transverse waves genarally stronger than longitudinal waves?
Answer #1:Yes==========Answer #2:No
How are sound waves longitudinal?
Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.

What are the two different types of waves?
transverse and longitudinal Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs). Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.
What three types of siesmic waves are formed by earthquakes?
Transverse, longitudinal, love, and Rayleigh - just to name a few (there's more than three...)
Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
Explain why longitudinal and transverse waves are named the way they are?
Longitudinal waves that are produced by earthquake are called primary waves because they are detected by seismometers before the other types of seismic waves due to their higher velocity which means they travel from the epicentre of an earthquake to the seismic station more quickly than the other types of seismic waves.
Why are the transverse waves produced by an earthquake known as secondary waves?
The Transverse waves show up second in time, they are slower than the Primary Waves.
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
Differences between longitudinal and transverse waves?
Okay so you have a transverse wave, which is a wave (a transfer of energy) that transfers energy perpendicular to the direction that the energy is being transferred. For example: if you are playing with a slinky, and your friend is holding the other end of the slinky, and you shake the slinky, you are creating a transverse wave. Now you have a longitudinal wave, which transfers energy parallel to the direction that the energy is being transferred. The best example I can give to you is a sound wave, that is transferring kinetic energy in the same direction that the energy is headed, and that is why there is a "speed of sound" because sound travels in the same direction that the energy is headed, or parallel to it. And a surface wave is a mechanical wave (a wave that travels across a medium, a medium being, well, anything that is not a vacuum) that changes medium while traveling. The best example I can give you is ocean waves. When you see a typical wave in the sea, that is a surface wave.
