Cross-vaulting :: Cross-vaulting (n.) Vaulting formed by the intersection of two or more simple vaults.

Orthocenter :: Orthocenter (n.) That point in which the three perpendiculars let fall from the angles of a triangle upon the opposite sides, or the sides produced, mutually intersect..

Crossing :: Crossing (v. t.) Intersection, as of two paths or roads..

Paraselene :: Paraselene (n.) A mock moon; an image of the moon which sometimes appears at the point of intersection of two lunar halos. Cf. Parhelion.

Diclinic :: Diclinic (a.) Having two of the intersections between the three axes oblique. See Crystallization.

Indicatrix :: Indicatrix (n.) A certain conic section supposed to be drawn in the tangent plane to any surface, and used to determine the accidents of curvature of the surface at the point of contact. The curve is similar to the intersection of the surface with a parallel to the tangent plane and indefinitely near it. It is an ellipse when the curvature is synclastic, and an hyperbola when the curvature is anticlastic..
