Reciprocating.
It is a rarefaction.

=They are ferry boats that carried cars and people back and forth.=
Yes, sailboats can sail into the wind by using a technique called tacking, where they zigzag back and forth to catch the wind at an angle.
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers, causing rock particles to move back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. These waves are generated by seismic events, such as earthquakes or explosions, and carry energy that can cause shaking and deformation of the Earth's crust.
That would likely be a mechanical or longitudinal wave, where the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of wave propagation, creating the motion. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
The fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth is the P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected during an earthquake. They move by causing particles in the material they travel through to vibrate in the same direction as the wave's propagation.
Seismic waves, specifically compressional (P-waves), squeeze and pull rock in the same direction that they travel. These waves cause particles in the rock to oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation.
P or primary waves
A wave in which the disturbance of the medium is in the same direction as the wave motion is called a longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves in air and seismic waves in the Earth.

Ordinance
This phenomenon is called wave motion or oscillation. In a wave motion, the particles of the object move back and forth in a repeating pattern along the direction of the wave.
Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).
A longitudinal wave causes its medium to oscillate in the same direction as the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
