A good example of a longitudinal wave would be sound waves in the air. The move in a spiral motion and moves in a parallel direction, one after the other. For more information look here: http://www.surendranath.org/Applets/Waves/Lwave01/Lwave01Applet.

Longitudinal waves cause particles to oscillate, or move back and forth around a center, along a line in the direction the waves are moving. Sound waves are considered longitudinal waves.
