Frames extend in which direction?

Explanation:
Frames form the hull’s cross-sectional ribs, running across the width of the boat from one side to the other. They’re placed at stations along the length to shape the hull and provide support for the planking, effectively creating transverse sections. Because their primary direction is side-to-side, they are athwartships. They are not arranged along the keel line (which would be longitudinal) and their role isn’t a vertical deckward orientation.
