What type of interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough?
No, that would be destructive interference. One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.
When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another wave takes place.?
Destructive interference takes place. Constructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave passes through the crest of another wave
Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?
Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.
What is the result of two waves over laping?
I'm guessing you're talking about Transverse waves? eg. ~ Waves consist of two parts - a crest and a trough. The crest are the high points, and a trough is the low points. When a crest meets another crest, the wave is amplified, causing constructive interference (the crests add to each other). The same thing occurs when a trough meets a trough. However, when a crest meets a trough, the wave is diminished, causing destructive interference (the crest and trough cancel each other out).
When 2-meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2-meter deep trough of another wave has what results?
Constructive interference. The troughs will add and if your amplitude of either trough is a and b, the final trough will have amplitude a+b.

What occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.

Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called?
This process is called destructive interference. This occurs when two waves collide, where one is in a trough and one is in a crest. If the waves are both a max amplitude, max crest and max trough, there will be complete destructive interference.

True or false destructive interference occurs when a through meets with another trough at a given location on the medium?
True
How can an increased depth of a trough be considered constructive interference?
The lower the trough is the higher the crest is. If you are using this in Mr. Kludt's Physical Science class in Winner High School he counts this answer as right...at least he did in 2011/2012 when i was a freshman.
Wave A has an amplitude of 3 and wave B has an amplitude of 3 What will happen when the trough of wave A meets the trough of wave B?
Constructive interference which theoretically would result in a 6 amplitude as long as the frequency and wavelength of the 2 waves are the same.
When the crest of one wave passes through another wave what occurs?
When the crest, or high point, of one wave passes through the crest of another wave, both of the crests' heights are added into one larger crest. After they pass, each crest becomes its original height that they were before the incident. This phenomena called constructive interference. This also occurs when the trough, or low point, of a wave passes through the trough of another. Now, when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, the height and depth of each is added (think of the trough's depth as a negative number) and the resulting amplitude (the distance from the middle of the wave) is "constructed". And once again, after the crest and trough finish passing each other, both crest and trough become their original amplitude that they were before the incident. This phenomena is called destructive interference.
How can two waves cancel out each other?
a peak of ond wave instantaneously merges with the trough, or bottom part of another wave and in that moment there is neither a peak or a trough so there is no wave; this is called destructive interference. the opposite can also happen when two peaks and troughs merge and create amplified waves; this is called constructive interference. destructively
