What type of interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough?

No, that would be destructive interference.
One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.

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).
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 two waves interact and their amplitudes cancel out what interference has occurred?
A trough meeting a crest causes the wave to cancel each other out, thus being at rest. Answer2: Destructive interference.
When the 2meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2meter deep trough of another wave what results?
The result is destructive interference. The resultant displacement of the waves would be zero, but only for the moment of interference. Once the interference is past, the waves continue normally.
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".
Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called?
This process is called destructive interference. This occurs when two waves collide, where one is in a trough and one is in a crest. If the waves are both a max amplitude, max crest and max trough, there will be complete destructive interference.

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 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.
What is a trough and a crest?
it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave
When two waves interact and their amplitudes cancel out what interference has occurred?
A trough meeting a crest causes the wave to cancel each other out, thus being at rest. Answer2: Destructive interference.

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)
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 wavelenght of the waves?
The maximum height of crest and trough determines the wavelength of waves
What is the vertical distance between a waves trough and crest is 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
