Length information:

• general length (physics)
• In the case of multi-dimensional objects, the term depth is often used for one of the length axes in order to distinguish them from one another; as a rule, it is the one that points away from the viewer at right angles to an actual or imaginary leading edge
• the depth of the property , as opposed to the width of the property for a two-dimensional, more or less horizontal surface.
• The dimensions of furniture or large technical devices are usually specified with width, height and depth (W × H × D). In this context, one speaks, for example, of the shelf and cabinet depth , which as a measure complements the visible front surface with a spatial axis for three-dimensional description.

• the depth of a borehole, based on the earth's surface in geology
• the depth of the sea at a certain point on the sea surface

Physics:

• the distance from the viewer, see e.g. B. Depth graduation and depth impression (disambiguation)
• Depth of field
• Color depth (disambiguation)

Mathematics:

• the depth (commutative algebra) of a module or a ring; an invariant in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry

Humanities:
