Strike And Dip To Dip And Dip Direction. The symbol for strike and dip is given along the top of the block. Useful in map interpretation is the application of the rule of v’s to determine dip direction. Unfortunately, there are several other conventions to resolve strike ambiguity. Other conventions for defining the orientation of a plane. The angle of plunge of the steepest plunging line in a plane. Specifies a plane that dips at 45° with strike roughly nnw. Plane strike and dip, and recording conventions. Note that the dip symbol (shorter line) is perpendicular to the strike symbol (figure 12.9). That is the direction of dip—towards the right in this case. Geologists measure the orientation (strike) and steepness (dip angle) of tilted beds of rock at an outcrop (figure 2). Within a dipping plane the line at right angles to the strike line is the line with the steepest plunge. In figure 12, the line of section is at an angle to strike. To determine the apparent dip of the bed in the cross section, we must know two things: Strike and dip for tilted sedimentary beds. The strike of a fracture refers to the direction indicated by the two ends of the intersection of the fracture and the horizontal.

Strike and dip for tilted sedimentary beds. Geologists measure the orientation (strike) and steepness (dip angle) of tilted beds of rock at an outcrop (figure 2). The direction and angle the beds are inclined will vary from location to location, so the location of each outcrop must also be recorded.
