- - - - Highest point above the rest position is the Crest.
        Lowest point below the rest position is the trough.
      - Causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.
      - Examples:
        Seismic S (seismic) waves from an earthquake
    - - Compression when particles in the medium are close together
        Rarefaction when particles in the medium are far apart
      - A wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels
      - Examples:
        Springs
        P waves (primary waves) are longitudinal waves produced by earthquakes
    - - A waves that travels along a surface separating two media.
      - Motion is like a transverse wave but it is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. Particles in the wave move in a circular motion.
