another name for pressure wave is a P-wave
EDIT: Another name for P-waves or Pressure waves are Compressional, Longitudinal, P, Dilation waves. The particle motion is in the direction of wave propagation These waves occur in Solids, Liquids, and Gases whereas Shear, transverse, S, or equivoluminal waves only occur in solids.

That's why I think, a sound wave is also an acoustic wave.

Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What is the difference between waves and currents?
when the surface of the sea is distributed, waves are produced. waves are seen moving on the surface of water but actually their movement is not extensive and the movement of water from one part of the ocean to another gives rise to currents.
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
What is another name for mechanical waves?
Another name for mechanical waves is elastic waves.
When waves bounce back off of another surface it is called?
When waves bounce back off of another surface, it is called reflection.
What are types of transverse waves?
Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves on the surface of the ocean, and electromagnetic waves like radio and X-rays. These waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of their propagation.
What are foamy waves?
Another name for foamy waves are, (braking waves).
What is another name for earthquake waves?
Seismic waves.
Another word for seismic waves that characterizes the way they move?
"Vibrations" is another word that characterizes the way seismic waves move through the Earth.
What another term for radar waves?
Another name for radar waves is radar systems or electromagnetic waves.
What are foamy waves called?
Another name for foamy waves are, (braking waves).
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What is another name for the dorsal surface?
another name for the dorsal surface in humans is posterior surface and for animals it is superior surface
What is another name for surface runoff?
Another name for surface runoff is overland flow.
