A crest in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the highest points of displacement in their respective wave types.
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
In a transverse wave, the peak corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the regions of maximum energy transfer and particle displacement along their respective wave types.
If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.
In a transverse wave, the wave energy propagates perpendicular to the wave motion, causing oscillations in the direction perpendicular to the wave's motion. On the other hand, a compression in a longitudinal wave corresponds to regions of high pressure where the particles are squeezed together along the direction of wave propagation.

Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
The compression in a longitudinal wave can be thought of as the regions where the particles are closest together, which corresponds to the crest of the wave. This is where the wave is most compacted and has the highest density of particles.
Sound travels as a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This vibration creates areas of compression and rarefaction, which are responsible for the transmission of sound.
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
