<span>The answer to the question "what is the highest point of the transverse wave called" is a crest or peak. A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium of the wave vibrates at 90 degrees to the direction in which the wave is moving at. The lowest points are called the troughs. Examples of transverse waves are light and electromagnetic radiation.</span>
This is a question similar to one wrestled with by Newton himself, who didn't understand why the planets didn't fall into each other. The reason satellites don't fly into space is because they are being pulled towards the planet by the planet's gravity.

Kinetic Energy which relies on an objects mass and velocity and Potential Energy which relies on the height of the object
In divergent boundaries deep ocean trenches form due to the 2 plates pulling apart. the plate in the middle gets stretched thinner and thinner as it submerges into the sea until enough pressure causes magma to erupt from it. when the magma erupts new sea floor is created
