diffraction
interference
refraction
reflection
For the first scenario (Two sound waves... louder):
When two sound waves intersect and the sound becomes louder, this is constructive interference (a type of interference) where waves add up. Diffraction is bending, refraction is bending at a boundary, reflection is bouncing. So the correct term is Interference.
An echo is caused by sound waves bouncing off a surface (the canyon walls), which is reflection. Diffraction is spreading, interference is wave interaction, refraction is bending. So the correct term is Reflection.
