This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.

What are area where air is pushed together in vibrations called?
Compression
When molecules of air are pushed together they form an area of high pressure which is called a?
When molecules of air are pushed together, they form an area of high pressure which is called compression. If the compression is cyclonic, it is called a node.
The area where particles or air are pushed closer together as a result of being near something that is vibrating?
amplifier
The amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area is its?
The number of sound waves per unit time is called the frequency of the wave.
Why does sound waves die out after traveling for a long time?
A sound wave has a fixed amount of energy. Because sound waves usually move outward in a circular pattern of increasing size, that energy gets stretched out over a larger and larger area, and the energy eventually becomes so thin as to be undetectable, or too quiet to be heard.
Area which wound waves are pushed apart?
A sound wave is essentially fast changing sound pressure. Longitudinal sound waves need a medium to travel through in order to exist.
What is hyperechogenicity?
It means that there is an increase sound waves in that area.
What are area where air is pushed together in vibrations called?
Compression
An area where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be detected?
shadow zone

Why does a drumbeat seem softer to a listener who is farther away from the drum?
the area where air is pushed together forms a compression
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it does it still make a sound?
Yes because sound waves exist even if people aren't in the area.
Is rarefaction a high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
No. A rarefaction is the region of a sound wave where the particles are spread out rather than close together. The closer together regions are compressions. These terms are used about waves in air, not weather systems.
The amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area is its?
The number of sound waves per unit time is called the frequency of the wave.
