transverse wave: a moving wave where oscillations are angles to the direction of the wave of propagation.

longitudinal wave: a wave vibrating in the direction of a propagation.

surface wave: a mechanical wave that spreads along the interface between differing media.

(another wave definitionin case you want one)
mechanical wave: a wave that fluctuates of matter and transfers energy through a medium.

Answer:

Longitudinal, Transverse, and Suface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Longitudinal wave's - Movement of the particles are parallel to the motion of the energy. ...

Transverse wave's - movement of the particles are at right angles (perpendicular) to the motion of the energy. ...

Surface wave's - particles travel in a circular motion.

Hope this helps!! :)
