Longitudinal.
An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction.
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)

What are Waves that move the particles of the wave parallel to the direction the waves are traveling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
What is a wave which causes the particles of the medium to move in the same direction that the wave is traveling?
It's called a longitudinal wave.
Why is it called longitudinal waves?
Since the particles of the medium vibrate parallel (length wise) to the direction of propagation of the energy. HEnce the name longitudinal.
What is difference between like and unlike parallel forces?
Forces which are parallel and acting in same direction are called like parallel forces. Forces which are parallel and acting in opposite direction are called unlike parallel forces.
A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion?
That is called a Longitudinal wave

Why aren't sound waves called transverse waves?
Because they are longitudinal waves. The direction of oscillation of the particles is parallel to the direction of propagation of the waves.

How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
What type of waves do particalles in a medium move perpendicular to the direction that the waves move?
Waves that oscillate perpendicularly to their propagation are called transverse waves.
