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.

Crest of a fold?
The crest of a fold is its highest part with the trough being its lowest. Folds result when rock is bent and thus permanently deformed.
Is an upward fold called an anticline?
In an anticline, the fold is at the top, called the crest. The syncline, in contrast, is the trough of the "wave."
The more crowded area or more dense area of a compressional wave is called the?
Crest, and the least dense the Trough
Wave length is measured from the crest to the trough?
You are probably asking how Wavelegth is measured.......yes the distance between similar points on any waves is the WAVELENGTH . You count the number per second to get the FREQUENCY in cycles per second or HERTZ.... If the Frequency is very low it may take more than one second to complete a wave , then the Frequency is a fraction of a Hertz .ie 0.5hz takes two seconds to complete one wave.....
The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
Occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
They get canceled out if they have the same magnitude.
What is an example of a destructive?
Destructive interference occurs when the amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude.
What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
constructive interference
When the crest of a wave overlaps with the trough of another wave?
This is called "destructive interference" and the waves cancel each other out into what is called a "node" or "nodal point".
What is the distancefrom one crest or trough to another crest or trough called?
Wavelength.
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.
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.
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).
What happens when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave wave?
constructive interference
What is the correct way to measure wavelength?
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
How do you measure a transverse?
From crest to crest or trough to trough
