Mechanical waves are waves that need a medium to go through.
Some examples are ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves.
Also when a slinky moves back and forth or at right angles it is like a wave.

Compressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.

And seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake, explosion, or similar phenomenon and propagated within the Earth or along its surface or an an elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake.

Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
What are examples of electromagnetic waves?
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
What are 2 examples of electromagnetic waves?

How does a compressional wave moves?
for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.
What is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.
Are also known as P waves?
Compression Waves
compressional wave?
this is the waves of p waves that have same direction of waves
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
They are best modeled as transverse waves.
