A wave in which the particles travel in the same direction as the wave is called a seismic wave. It is usually generated by earthquakes.

What wave matter moves right angles to the direction wave travels?
Transverse
Why do the particles which the wave travels and the direction the wave travels relate each other?
It depends on whether the wave is a transversal or longitudinal wave. A transversal wave has particles in the medium oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the wave's direction. This is the case in for example water wave; the water moves up and down, but the wave moves forward. A longitudinal wave has the particles moving backwards and forwards in same direction the wave travels. This is the case in ordinary sound waves. You can see (or feel) this yourself when you look at the skin of a subwoofer making sounds (it is clearer when it is producing tones with a low pitch).
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?
That is called a longitudinal wave.
What kind of wave has matter that moves in the same direction as the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
What wave does matter moves in same direction as the wave travels?
seismic waves bhosdi wale

A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.

What kind of wave moves in the same direction matter moves?
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.
What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
Compression wave
Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?
That is called a longitudinal wave.
What is a longitundinal wave?
If the wave moves in the same direction as the force that produced it.
