Is there any geometric reason for why these equations are also called "elliptic", "parabolic", and "hyperbolic"? Like what does the wave equation have to do with a hyperbola?

Is there any specific applications for elliptic equation, just as heat equation for heat and wave equation for wave simulation?

Isn't the transport equation also one kind of important PDE?
