The characteristic of a wave that describes the greatest distance it travels, or vibrates from a resting position is called the amplitude, which is the technical name. A more common name would be loudness.

Which characteristic of wave describes the greatest distance a wave vibrates from a resting position?
It is called the Amplitude. The crest isn't right because the crest/peaks are only the highest points in a wave. People always mix them up.
What is the greatest distance a wave travels from its position?
amplitude
The Greatest Distance the knot travels from its resting position is what called?
xcvb
Which characteristic of motion could change without changing the velocity?
Well, we know that velocity describes the speed and direction of motion, so you can't change either of those. We don't usually think of 'position' as a characteristic of motion, but if we try hard to please you, then we might observe that the position changes while velocity remains constant.
WHAT POSITION VECTOR?
That's a vector that describes the position of an object.

What quantities are needed to describes the position of a water fountain relative to where you are standing?
the distance and direction to the water fountain
The is the greatest distance that particles in a medium move from their normal position when a wave passes.?
When measured, this distance (from normal to peak) is considered to be 1/2 of the amplitude. Amplitude is defined as the peak-to-peak distance.
What is the word that describes the distance between your final position and your starting position?
That's the magnitude of 'Displacement'.If you want the complete 'Displacement', you also have to includethe direction from Point-A to Point-B.
What is the difference between position and displacement?
Position is a vector and displacement is also a vector. The difference is that, position describes a specific point relative to a reference point and displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.
Which continent moved the greatest distance from its position within Pangaea to its present day location?
I'm pretty sure North America
