The crests of one wave overlap the troughs of another wave?
it is possable for a crest to overlap a trough and they cancel each other out
What occurs when crest overlap crest and troughs overlap troughs?
constructive wave interference, where the crests and troughs 'add' so are increased in amplitude.
Wht is the measure of how high the crests are or how deep the troughs are?
What is the measure of how high the crests are or how deep the troughs are
What is the distance betwtwo adjacent wave crests or troughs called?
That's called the wavelength.
Sometimes waves interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap?
destructive interference

What occurs when crest overlap crest and troughs overlap troughs?
constructive wave interference, where the crests and troughs 'add' so are increased in amplitude.
What is the distance between crests or between troughs?
It is called the wavelength.
Do x rays have crests and troughs?
yes because all waves have crests and troughs.
What are Folded layers of rock that form a wavelike pattern of troughs and crests called?
The most common of these are anticlines and synclines; anticlines are the "crests", while synclines are the "troughs".

destructive interference
The addition and subtraction of wave crests and troughs is called?
Principle of Super position of waves.
What is the number of crests or troughs that pass a point each second?
the answer to your question is called the frequency
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
Will a sound wave have crests and troughs?
Yes.
