It is called trough. The highest point is known to be crest. The distance between successive crests is known as wavelength of the wave. This is the most important characteristic of a wave. Same way the distance between any two successive troughs too is the wavelength.

What is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough?
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.
Is wavelength the distance between two crests or troughs of waves?
No, the distance from one wave crest to the next is notcalled a trough. That distance is called a wavelength. A trough is the lowest point of a wave.
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 the distance between a waves crest and trough?
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight
What is the distance between the crest and trough of a walled called?
Distance between a trough and crest in a wave is half wavelength
What is vertical distance between a trough and a crest?
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.

What is the distance between a waves crest and trough?
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
What word is there that starts with W that has to do with earthquakes?
wavelength - distance between waves (eg crest to crest or trough to trough)
Is the wavelength the distance from the crest to trough?
The peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance from the trough to the crest. The wavelength is the distance from one crest to the next crest.
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
What is the distance from the crest to crest or from trough to trough called?
wavelength

What is the verticle distance between a wave's crest and trough?
The vertical distance between the peak and trough is 2*Amplitude.
