Transverse waves.
Transverse waves have motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling. This means that the particles move up and down, side to side, or in a circular motion as the wave passes through the medium.
Surface waves are where particles of the medium move both parallel and perpendicular to wave motion. This movement creates a circular motion pattern. An example of a surface wave is water waves on the surface of a pond.
Transverse waves cause the medium to move in a perpendicular direction to the wave's propagation. In these waves, particles move up and down or side to side.
Water
Transverse waves have a medium that moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This motion can be seen in water waves or electromagnetic waves, such as light.
Waves, such as water waves or electromagnetic waves, can give particles a circular motion when generated by energy traveling outward from the epicenter. This circular motion is a result of the energy causing the particles to oscillate in a circular path, transmitting the wave's energy through the medium.

Seismic waves are the move generated by energy traveling outward from the epicenter in a circular motion, causing particles to oscillate. These waves are responsible for the shaking and ground motion during an earthquake.
In transverse waves, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, whereas in longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Transverse waves have a side-to-side motion, while longitudinal waves have a back-and-forth motion along the same axis as the wave.
Surface waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motion of the particles in the medium. This means the particles move both up and down, as well as back and forth, in a circular or elliptical motion. The motion of the particles is more complex compared to simple longitudinal or transverse waves.
Transverse waves occur when the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. When the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave, longitudinal waves are formed. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
In surface waves, the combination of transverse and longitudinal motions produces circular motion. This circular motion results in the characteristic rolling or swirling movement of surface waves as they propagate through a medium such as water or the Earth's crust.
