The most common of these are anticlines and synclines; anticlines are the "crests", while synclines are the "troughs".

What places in the wave in which the coils are spread apart are called?

The places in a wave where the coils are spread apart are called troughs. Troughs are the lowest points of a wave where the amplitude is most negative.

What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?

When waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs overlap with troughs, it is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes add up, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes cancel each other out.

What is the point in the middle of a destructive interference called?

The point in the middle of a destructive interference pattern is called the node. At the node, the crests of one wave align with the troughs of another, resulting in complete cancellation of the wave amplitudes.

The bottom part of a folded rock formation is called the "axial plane". This is where the layers of rock are bent or folded due to tectonic forces.


What are the highest and lowest points in a transverse wave called?

The highest points in a transverse wave are called crests, while the lowest points are called troughs. Crests represent the points of maximum positive displacement, while troughs represent the points of maximum negative displacement in the wave.
