If x and y are horizontal, z is vertical; if x and z are horizontal, y is vertical. The words horizontal and vertical are generally used in a planar (2-dimensional) sense, not spatial (3-dimensional). Which is the reason you may not find a word corresponding to the third dimension along with horizontal and vertical.
If I want to speak of North, South, East, West in a general sense I could, for example, use the term cardinal direction. Which term is appropriate to sum up horizontal and vertical in the same man...
"Vertical against horizontal", and, if you choose the almost (but not quite) universal convention of having x-values along the horizontal axis, and the variables are x and y, 'y against x'. There is the complication that the horizontal axis is usually called the 'x-axis'; this doesn't matter when you're plotting v against t (or t against v ...
I down-voted this. Orthogonal does not imply horizontal and vertical movement. Orthogonal implies that one movement is at a right angle with respect to the other. Horizontal and diagonal movements are thus always orthogonal, but two diagonal movements can also be orthogonal to each other.
The intersection of the vertical plane with the horizontal plane would form a transverse. This medical definition from thefreedictionary.com describes: transverse plane of space, n an imaginary plane that cuts the body in two, separating the superior half from the inferior half, and that lies at a right angle from the body's vertical axis.
It's a shortened form of "vertical market." From Wikipedia: Vertical market. Here's a bit that's particularly relevant to your question: Vertical market software is software aimed at addressing the needs of any given business within a discernible vertical market. An example could be software that manages services in hotels - amenities solutions.
'Horizontal' means 'relating to the horizon', so strictly speaking whether a split is vertical or horizontal depends on its orientation relative to the ground. Or less strictly, 'horizontal' is whatever the observer considers to be left/right rather than up/down.
AFAIK, the concepts of horizontal and vertical go out the window once you go beyond two dimensions. You are better off describing your business data in different terminology, perhaps use "axis/axes" and give each axis a descriptive name.
A cross section, also simply called a section, represents a vertical plane cut through the object, in the same way as a floor plan is a horizontal section viewed from the top. This would suggest that section is only appropriate for vertical planes. However, section is more generally defined as, per dictionary.com:
I don't think this is the correct usage of "coterminous". Regions that border have part of a boundary in common, but I think "coterminous" means that the entire border is the same; that is, the two entities comprise the same region.
