Those waves which required medium for propagation are called mechanical waves.
e.g sound waves,they need medium i.e solid liquid or gas ,to propagate. They cant travel through vacuum.
hope u understand that!!

What kind of wave is an mechanical wave?
A mechanical wave requires a medium to transfer the energy it carries, unlike EMR waves. There are several types of mechanical waves, most of them being found in an earthquake. Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves.
What kind of wave carries energy?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What kind of waves are made with a rope?
a mechanical wave.
Which kind of wave does not require a medium?
Mechanical waves
Waves that do require a medium are called?
Sound waves, they need a medium to vibrate.A2. Earthquake waves and other mechanical waves also need a medium for their transmission.Ghv. Tsunamis are a type of mechanical wave, which is the kind of wave you're looking for.
How are the mechanical waves formed?
Any kind of disturbance triggers mechanical waves that propagate perpendicular to the motion of disturbance. However for mechanical motion, it is necessary that the wave is propagated in a medium.
What kind of wave travels only through a medium?
Mechanical waves, including sound waves.
What kind of waves that need a liquid?
Mechanical waves require a medium, as opposed to electromagnetic waves which can travel through a vacuum.
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
