Answer:

Mechanical waves

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical waves are produced from the oscillation of matter. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves, P & S waves of earthquakes, and etcetera. This means they require a medium to transfer energy. They cannot transfer energy in a vacuum, unlike electromagnetic waves.
