(1) Parallelism Of Fibres, Usually As A Result Of A Combing Or Attenuating Action On Fibre Assemblies Causing The Fibres To Lie Substantially Parallel To The Axis Of The Web Or Strand. (2) A Predominant Direction Of Linear Molecules In The Fine Structure Of Fibres. Note 1: In Man-made Fibres Orientation Is Usually Parallel To The Fibre Axis As A Result Of Extrusion Stretching, Or Drawing. In Natural Fibres The Predominant Direction Is Determined During Growth, For Example A Helix Around The Fibre Axis In Cotton. Note 2: Unoriented Structures Are Those In Which Orientation Is Absent. Disoriented Structures Are Those In Which Orientation Has Been Reduced Or Eliminated As A Result Of A Disrupting Treatment

The orientation or azimuth angle describes the angle of deviation of the collector-surface from the south in the northern hemisphere (and from the north in the southern hemisphere). It is 0° when the surface is facing due south. The azimuth is positive when facing west and negative when facing east. An orientation due west corresponds to a value of +90° and an orientation due east is -90°.

Modern seismograph stations have three separate instruments to record seismograms - (1) one to record the north-south waves, (2) another to record east-west waves, and (3) a vertical one in which a weight resting on a spring tends to stand still and record vertical ground motions. This combination of instruments tells a seismologist the general direction of the seismic wave source, the magnitude at its source, and the character of the wave motion. The orientation of a seismogram refers to the direction of the waves recorded: north-south, east-west, or vertical.
