Elastic waves can be both transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves cause particles to oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave, like ripples on a pond. Longitudinal waves cause particles to oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave, like compressional waves in a slinky.

What parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?

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.
