In the direction of propagation, it's one-quarter the wavelength. Perpendicular to that, it's the amplitude (or half the amplitude, depending on what definition you're using).

What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight
Is wavelength the distance between two crests or troughs of waves?
No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.
What is the distance between a waves crest and trough?
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.

What word is there that starts with W that has to do with earthquakes?
wavelength - distance between waves (eg crest to crest or trough to trough)

It is called the wave height.
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is the waves?
If it's crest to crest and trough to trough then it's the wavelength.
How can the loudness of a sound be determined by the waves?
The loudness of a sound (or intensity) corresponds to the sound wave's amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the midpoint of the wave to a high-point (crest) or low-point (trough).
