Surface waves are a type of mechanical wave that travel along a surface between two different types of media. There are two types of surface waves: Rayleigh and Love.
Rayleigh waves are waves that travel as ripples with motion similar to those of waves on the surface of water. Love waves are surface waves having horizontal waves that are shear or transverse to the direction of propagation.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium travel alongside or parallel to the ones of the wave. This type of wave is made up of many compressions and refractions. With the refraction being the farthest distance apart in the longitudinal wave and the compression being the closest distance together.

A Transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave that which the particles of the medium travel in a direction perpendicular to which the wave moves. These types of waves have two points the crest and the through, the crest being the highest and the through being the lowest.

The wave travels through the water and ripples until it has transferred all that primary input of energy. The most common mechanical waves are water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves.

These types of waves can only be produced in a medium that contains elasticity and inertia. Mechanical waves carry around energy and they follow in the direction of the wave. These waves can travel very long distances but the medium through which they travel are limited. They need a input of energy to get them started after that they transfer that energy until they have completely finished it up.

Mechanical waves are a type of wave that require a medium to travel through, which means they cant travel through empty space or a vacuum.
