For sound waves to travel, they must travel through something. What do we call that something?

What do we call the distance between the center line and the highest (or lowest) point of a wave?
According to Mr. Ritter, illustrations of things that are going to move away (a car, train, person running) are traditionally drawn facing toward the left -- why?
Because the page will be pulled in that direction to go to the next illustration, making the car, for example, move in the correct direction.

If you turn up the Hertz on the String Vibrator, what will happen to the wavelength of the wave on the string?

In a longitudinal wave (like the ropes we wiggled), and a compression wave (like the slinky) the bit of tape in the middle moved. How did they move differently?
In the longitudinal wave, the tape moved perpendicular to the energy propagation in the rope (side to side).
In the compression wave, the tape moved in line with the energy propagation in the slinky (back and forth).
