Strike and dip - Wikipedia In geology, strike and dip is a measurement convention used to describe the plane orientation or attitude of a planar geologic feature A feature's strike is the azimuth of an imagined horizontal line across the plane, and its dip is the angle of inclination (or depression angle) measured downward from horizontal [1]
12. 3: Strike and Dip - Geosciences LibreTexts Strike refers to the line formed by the intersection of a horizontal plane and an inclined surface Dip is the angle between that horizontal plane (such as the top of this block) and the tilted surface (the geologic contact between the tilted layers)
Strike | Fault, Folding Earthquakes | Britannica Strike, in geology, direction of the line formed by the intersection of a fault, bed, or other planar feature and a horizontal plane Strike indicates the attitude or position of linear structural features such as faults, beds, joints, and folds Trend is the direction of the line formed by the

Strike in Geology - Definition, Measurement, Uses and Dip The strike definition geology describes and the dip direction method is applied usually to the horizontal features The linear features are described by the “plunge” and “trend” concept, in which the “plunge” is the dip angle and the “trend” is analogous to the dip direction value
Tilted Beds and Strike and Dip – Physical Geology Laboratory 27 Tilted Beds and Strike and Dip Elizabeth Johnson Strike and Dip To measure and describe the geometry of geological layers, geologists apply the concepts of strike and dip Strike refers to the line formed by the intersection of a horizontal plane and an inclined surface This line is called a strike line, and the direction the line points in (either direction, as a line points in two
Measuring dip and strike - Geological Digressions How to measure dip and strike This post is part of the How To… series If we had to designate one set of measurements that is fundamental to all geology, it would have to be Dip and Strike These simple measures define uniquely the orientation (compass bearings and angles) of a planar surface – any plane: bedding, faults, axial planes, mineralized veins, dykes and sills Armed with dips and
