The depth of section is major axis of that section. Prependicular to that depth is minor axis of that section.
I think it helps you to understand.

In a beam or length of material, we generally consider the longitudinal axis as the major axis for bending. But torsion will bend the material from the vertical, will twist it around that longitudinal axis. And lateral forces will bend the material across it axis of latitude.
The area of an ellipse with a major axis 20 m and a minor axis 10 m is: 157.1 m2
horizontal = x axis vertical = y axis 3d axis = z axis in an elipses, there is also a major and minor axis and finally, 3 Axis Powers: Germany, Japan, and Italy
Circular segment
The standard equation for an ellipse centered at the origin is [x2/a2] +[y2/b2] = 1If a > b then the major axis is horizontal. Where b > a then the major axis is vertical. Note : If a = b then the curve is a circle.When a > b then the minor axis is of length 2b (and the major axis is of length 2a).Hope this helps as it is not clear just what your question is.
