About this document
Understanding Strike and Dip in Geology by ZAKHAN is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Strike is the direction of a tilted rock layer, while dip is the angle of tilt. On a geological map, strike and dip are represented by symbols that show the orientation of the rock layers. Measuring strike and dip in the field involves using a compass to determine both the direction of the strike and the degree of dip. This provides important information about the positioning and structure of the layered rocks.
