The terms for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point is called the what?
wave period -- apex
When the crest passes through the trough of another wave what takes place?
They cancel each other.
The number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second is?
No that is frequency. Wavelength is how long it takes one wave to pass a certain point fully once
What are three features of sound waves?
Wavelength; this is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.Frequency; this is the number of waves that pass a point in each second.Amplitude; this is the measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave.
The lowest point between each crest of a wave?
is called the trough http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~pgore/geology/geo101/wavediagram.gif

What happens when the crest and trough collide?
The highest point of a transverse wave is known as the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough. When the crest of one wave strikes against the trough of another wave, the forces of energy working in opposite directions with cancel out the effects of each other.

What is crests?
A crest can be the pinnacle of a hill or mountain. It can also be a badge or recognition device worn usually on a helmet.
Is The wavelength of a wave measures the height of each crest?
No. The wavelength is the distance, or separation, between each crest.
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 term best describes the set of all points in a plane that are a certain distance from the a single point?
The answer will depend on what the "certain distances" are for each point.
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".
Why is wind considered a vector field?
At each point in space, the wind has a velocity, which is a vector. Another way of saying the same thing is that at each point, the wind blows at a certain speed and in a certain direction.
