Rover · Answer 1

If there's material stuff waving, then you have a mechanical wave.

Where there are ocean waves, there is water waving. So it's definitely a mechanical wave.

Eduardo Sheppard · Answer 2

Some of the most common examples of mechanical waves are water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. There are three types of mechanical waves: transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves.
