What is a long and narrow shallow hollow between sound waves?

Sound waves are mechanical energy, and mechanical energy moves through matter in areas of compression and in areas of decompression (or, perhaps, rarefaction). The areas of compression are often spoken of as crests, and troughs speak to the areas of decompression in the medium through which the sound is propagating. The trough of a sound wave is the decompressed or rarefied medium.
