Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave that is transverse in nature. This means that the oscillations of electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)

Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transverse waves in that the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are therefore transverse waves.

Sound waves are longitudinal.
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
