They will cancel each other out... this even works with light and sound waves.

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 2-meter tall crest of a wave coincides with the 2-meter deep trough of another wave has what results?
Constructive interference. The troughs will add and if your amplitude of either trough is a and b, the final trough will have amplitude a+b.
What is the distancefrom one crest or trough to another crest or trough called?
Wavelength.
What is the correct way to measure wavelength?
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).

What is wavelength in scince?
The distance from a crest to a crest or a trough to a trough in a wave.
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
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).
