For transverse waves, the waves move in the perpendicular direction to the source of vibration. Traverse waves are made of troughs and crests.
For longitudinal waves, the waves move in the parallel direction to the source of vibration. Longitudinal waves are made of rarefactions and compressions.
They are similar in the sense that energy is transferred in the form of waves and both waves are mechanical waves.
