The Inclination of a plane measured in a direction not
Apparent Dip perpendicular to strike.
The bearing of the vertical plane containing the apparent dip
Apparent Dip Direction angle.
Attitude The orientation in space.
ß The angle between strike and apparent dip direction.
The horizontal angle between a line and a specified coordinate
Bearing direction, usually north or south.
The vertical distance from the ground surface downward to a
Depth feature of interest.
The inclination of the line of greatest slope of an inclined plane,
Dip measured perpendicular to strike.
Directed Line A line described by its bearing and plunge.
A hinge line along which a vertical cross section may be
Fold Line constructed and then flattened out to a horizontal or map
view.
, A general term for the vertical angle between the horizontal and
Inclination a plane of line, measured downward.
The width of an outcrop, as measured in map view,
Outcrop Width perpendicular to strike.
A line perpendicular to a plane, and represented as a point on a
Pole stereographic projection.
Plunge The vertical angle between a line and horizontal.
The degree of agreement or consistency of repeated
Precision measurements.
The process by which points on one surface are transferred to
Projection another surface, such that in each view (map or cross section)
the points correspond.
The angle measured in a specific plane between a line and the
Rake (pitch) horizontal. The angle between a lineation and strike on a fault
plane.
Slope Angle The angle from the horizontal down to the slope.
A representation of angular relationships between planes
Stereonet and lines.
Strike The bearing of a horizontal line in an inclined plane.
The perpendicular distance between the top and bottom of a
Thickness geologic unit.
Trend The bearing of the vertical plane containing a line.
