Rift Valleys
The major axis of an elliptical orbit is also known as an apse line.
The major axis is the diameter across the widest part. The semimajor axis is half that, and for a planet it's the average of the maximum and minimum distances from the Sun .
The huge trough running down the center of the mid-ocean ridge is a Rift Valley. A Rift Valley is a deep linear valley extending along the axis of the ridge.
Yes. Any rotating object has an axis of rotation.

The major axis of a rectangle is a line that passes through the center of each short side.
In the context of an ellipse, the vertical axis is the major axis.
The relative sizes of the numerator and denominator have nothing to do with the major axis.
The major axis is the axis that cuts, or goes between the two vertices of the hyperbola. The minor axis is perpendicular to the major axis and is an axis of symmetry. If the hyperbola is defined by: x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2=1 where x^2 is x squared. Then the major axis is 2a units long, and the minor axis is 2b units long.
The minor axis of a rectangular column or beam is the line that goes through the center. The minor axis will be shorter than the major axis.
The area of an ellipse with a major axis 20 m and a minor axis 10 m is: 157.1 m2
The major axis and the minor axis.
The same as the major axis.

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 major Allied powers were the United States, Britian, and the Soviet Union and the major Axis powers were Germany, Japan, and Italy.
