When 2 waves interefere (or collide with eachother), it usually affects the crest of the wave. If both waves collide with both crests, it will create an amplified crest, and the waves will pass through eachother afterwards. If a trough of a wave meets a crest, it will cause the crest to be lowered shortly before both continue on.
