This link explains some good and basic stuffs on cis and trans, and even tells when to use E-Z notation:

Beyond that like the one you see in Achiever may further be explained through the link below under Examples of Alkenes # 15:

where geometrical isomers cease to occur when two identical groups (R, X, etc) are attached to the same carbon of the double bond.
