Compression or commonly called a longitudinal wave.
Transverse waves are waves in which the particles move back and forth perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves, where air particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave travels.
Transverse waves cause particles to move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cause particles to move back and forth in a direction parallel to the wave motion.
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This leads to a back-and-forth motion of particles. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves such as light and water waves.
Seismic waves, specifically shear waves or S-waves, cause particles in rock to move back and forth during an earthquake. These waves propagate by producing a side-to-side motion that leads to the shaking and fracturing of rocks.
Transverse waves cause matter to move back and forth perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves and water waves.

Compressional Waves
Longitudinal or compression waves.
Longitudinal or compression waves.
Longitudinal or compression waves.
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation, creating a back and forth motion. This type of wave motion is characteristic of waves on a rope or string.
Transverse waves are created by a back-and-forth motion or vibration of an object. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves and water waves.
