the sound produced by a guitar string:
the fundamental wave is a standing wave (its harmonics too).
A standing wave can tell you about the resonant frequencies of a system. It is formed when a wave reflects back on itself and interferes constructively or destructively. The nodes and antinodes of a standing wave provide information about the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.

An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string when it is plucked or shaken. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (sideways) to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes crests and troughs to form as the wave travels along the medium.

When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.

No, the wave at sporting events is not an example of a real wave in nature. The wave at sporting events involves fans standing up and sitting down in sequence, creating a visual effect that travels around the stadium.
A standing wave requires a relative motion of the medium at the same velocity of the wave
The amplitude of a standing wave is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position. It represents the height of the wave at its peak.
The result is a standing wave. Standing waves are created by the interference of two waves of the same frequency traveling in opposite directions and have points along the medium that appear to be vibrating in place.
The amplitude of the standing wave shown is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position.
