A flag pole is perpendicular to the ground.
Something which is perpendicular is at right angles an example would be that a tree growing straight out of the ground would be perpendicular to the ground. Things are parallel when they run along side each other always the same distance apart, an example would be railway tracks.
The absolute value of the distance "crest to trough" perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the motion.
The walls of most buildings are perpendicular to the ground they are built on.
