They move perpendicular to the direction they transfer
Sound waves. Also ocean waves. Also earthquake waves. Also explosion waves.
They can move apart or in some rare cases together.

In a sound wave, compressions and rarefactions are regions of high pressure and low pressure respectively. They travel in the same direction as the wave itself. As the wave propagates, compressions and rarefactions move through the medium in the same direction, creating the oscillating pattern of high and low pressure that we perceive as sound.
A series of rarefactions and compressions that travel through a substance is called a sound wave. Sound waves are created by vibrations and propagate by causing particles in the medium to move back and forth in the same direction of the wave.
No, compressions and rarefactions are characteristics of longitudinal waves, not transverse waves. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
When sound travels through air, the air particles are set into vibration by the source of the sound. This vibration causes the particles to move back and forth, creating a series of compressions and rarefactions. These compressions and rarefactions are what we perceive as sound.
yes
Longitudinal waves move by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal waves move particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. This type of wave is characterized by compressions and rarefactions in the material through which it travels. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves.
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
Longitudinal waves have particles in the medium that move in the same direction as the wave propagates. This type of wave is characterized by compressions and rarefactions of the medium. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium, causing the wave to propagate. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
A sound wave can be created by vibrating an object, such as a speaker or vocal cords, causing the air particles around it to move in a pattern of compressions and rarefactions that travel through the air as sound.
No, sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is moving. Transverse waves involve particles moving perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
