When light is incident obliquely on an interface, its s(TE) component is reflected differently from its p (TM) component. The situation is illustrated in Fig.4.
You have the transverse versus oblique fractures. In oblique fractures you have the spiral type of fracture also.

Oblique.
These two types of rays differ in their Angles of Incidence: vertical rays bounce down and then right back up into themselves while oblique rays bounce off at different angles (vectors) from the incident angle of the incoming rays, also called waves. Compare this to horizontal rays that while sent out side to side, if they do not hit a mountain range, they will wave away indefinitely forever.
The point of incidence is the point where the ray of incidence strikes the mirror.
Angle of incidence can be anything. Angle of reflection is the same as angle of incidence.
I can't find a sentence for the angle of incidence.
Oblique incidence applies to rays that are incident at some angle OTHER THAN at right angles (90 degrees) to the surface on which they are incident. Vertical incidence IS at right angles.
greater than the angle of refraction
less than the angle of refraction.
Oblique is defined as 'slanting or inclined in direction, neither parallel nor perpendicular'. Oblique rays, such as those that come from the sun during winter, tend to bounce away more than they are absorbed, due to being shot at a wide angle.
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
internal oblique opposes the external oblique
Oblique lines:
There is an oblique angle!
Oblique means at an angle.

Slanting. A slash (/) is oblique
High oblique includes the horizon and low does not.
