An echo is just the reflection of sound from a surface. As such it is neither constructive or destructive. These terms refer to the way sound waves combine with each other.
The terms "constructive" and "destructive", in relation to waves, refer to interference. There can be interference with any kind of waves.
destructive most of the time
Constructive Interference
No, that would be destructive interference. One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.
Interference is constructive if the phase difference is zero degrees and destructive if the phase difference is 180 degrees.

Constructive, and destructive
It's called Constructive. (:Just found the answer.
Constructive and destructive interference can occur at any frequency. Superposition of waves is not dependent on a specific frequency.
Constructive
Constructive interference can be a confusing concept when called interference. It is wave interference that is moving in phase with another wave. This causes the waves to for a resultant wave with a greater amplitude. Destructive interference is wave interference that is moving out of phase with another wave. These waves form a resultant wave of lower amplitude.
Constructive and destructive. These are the two extremes.
