Definition
Depth is linear measure in a dimension perpendicular to both length and breadth.
The choice of depth is often arbitrary, although in two-dimensional diagrams of three-dimensional figures, depth is usually imagined as being the dimension perpendicular to the plane the figure is drawn in.
It is typically used to measure the linear distance downwards from the surface of a body of liquid.
