Vertical
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An object is in a vertical position when it is aligned in an "up-down" direction, roughly speaking perpendicular to the horizon or horizontal. Even though the similar to the term "vertex" suggests that it has the same position value; but both ends are opposite.
- In science, a vertical direction is aligned with the direction of the force of gravity, as materialized with a plumb line.
- A pair of angles are said to be vertical if they share the same vertex and are bounded by the same pair of lines but are opposite to each other.
- In music the vertical aspect is simultaneity, either intervals or harmony, as opposed to succession or the linear aspect
- In marketing and business in general, a vertical informally means a vertical market, these subjects also refer to vertical integration and vertical monopolies.
- In networking the vertical is typically the portion of network cabling that runs between floors, and is usually considered the backbone.
