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 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.
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'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 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.
Longitudinal waves cause particles to move back and forth in the same direction the waves are moving. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves where air particles vibrate in the same direction as the sound wave propagates.

That would likely be a mechanical or longitudinal wave, where the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of wave propagation, creating the motion. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
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.
Longitudinal or compression waves.

Seismic waves, specifically the secondary (S) waves, are responsible for causing particles in rock to move back and forth. These waves are a type of mechanical wave that travels through the Earth and can cause the ground to shake during an earthquake.
Longitudinal waves cause particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel. This type of wave propagation occurs in mediums where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
