The characteristic of a wave that describes the greatest distance it travels, or vibrates from a resting position is called the amplitude, which is the technical name. A more common name would be loudness.
It is called the Amplitude. The crest isn't right because the crest/peaks are only the highest points in a wave. People always mix them up.

Well, we know that velocity describes the speed and direction of motion, so you can't change either of those. We don't usually think of 'position' as a characteristic of motion, but if we try hard to please you, then we might observe that the position changes while velocity remains constant.
That's a vector that describes the position of an object.

the distance and direction to the water fountain
When measured, this distance (from normal to peak) is considered to be 1/2 of the amplitude. Amplitude is defined as the peak-to-peak distance.
That's the magnitude of 'Displacement'.If you want the complete 'Displacement', you also have to includethe direction from Point-A to Point-B.
Position is a vector and displacement is also a vector. The difference is that, position describes a specific point relative to a reference point and displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.
