Waves transfer energy in the form of mechanical energy, which causes particles in the medium (such as water or air) to move and oscillate. This movement of particles carries the energy of the wave through the medium.

What waves transfer from one place to another?

All waves can travel from one place to another as long as they have a medium to travel through. The only waves that do not need a medium are electromagnetic waves. When using the word "transfer" though. Waves transfer energy; waves themselves are not transfered they simply travel.
