transverse wave
Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.
The high point in a transverse wave is called the 'crest'. if you need more help, the 'trough' is the low point.
The distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave is called a wavelength.
In a transverse wave,amplitudeis the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)
transverse wave
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.

The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
It is called the crest.
it is called a seismic wave
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
crest
The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.
