Essentially the amplitude will become zero. If you think of 2 waves (sea waves will do). If the 2 crash together when one is at the top of it crest and the other at the bottom then they will cancel each other out and you will have a flat pond.
This is a very simple way of putting it but I hope you get the idea.

What happens when two wave encounter each other in destructive interference?
i dont know someone else answer this
What are the different types of wave interference?
Constructive, and destructive
Constructive interference occurs when the amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude?
It's called Constructive. (:Just found the answer.
What is a combination of waves that form a smaller wave?
destructive interference.
What happens when two waves encounter one another in destructive interference?
Destructive interference happens when the crest of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap. The new wave has a smaller amplitude than the original waves had. When the waves involved in destructive interference have the same amplitude and meet each other at just the right time, the result is no wave at all.
What is the two waves coming together to make a smaller wave?
Destructive interference.
What is constructive and destructive?
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.

What type of interference causes the crest of the wave to decrease or cancel out?
Destructive interference

What happens when destructive interference occurs between wave with different amplitudE?
It depends on the frequency of the waves. Are we assuming here that one wave is acting as destructive interference to another wave?. If they have the same frequency, then the amplitudes should combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude than the original (two?) waves. Otherwise your results will vary.
