What happens when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave wave?
constructive interference
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 type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
constructive interference
What takes place when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
The overlap of one wave crest with another can result in interference, which can be constructive (additional) or destructive (reductive) depending on the phase of the wave.
What is the distancefrom one crest or trough to another crest or trough called?
Wavelength.

Occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
They get canceled out if they have the same magnitude.

When the crest of one wave passes through another wave what occurs?
When the crest, or high point, of one wave passes through the crest of another wave, both of the crests' heights are added into one larger crest. After they pass, each crest becomes its original height that they were before the incident. This phenomena called constructive interference. This also occurs when the trough, or low point, of a wave passes through the trough of another. Now, when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, the height and depth of each is added (think of the trough's depth as a negative number) and the resulting amplitude (the distance from the middle of the wave) is "constructed". And once again, after the crest and trough finish passing each other, both crest and trough become their original amplitude that they were before the incident. This phenomena is called 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 is the narrow ridge of the bone?
The narrow ridge of a bone is called a crest. It is a raised area of the bone's surface that can serve as an attachment point for muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Crests are important for providing structural support and stability to the bone.
When the crest of one wave overlaps the crests of another wave what is it called?
When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).
What is the length of one crest to the top of another crest?
I assume you mean, the crests of a wave. That distance is called the wavelength.
