Can we determine strike when dip is given? What about the reverse? In any geological plane, strike gives the direction of a line formed by intersection of horizontal plane and geological plane. And dip shows the orientation of the geological plane. While studying, I came to know that strike is perpendicular to dip. But when I tried to determine dip from strike, I can not do it. But when I can determine strike when dip is known. So how can we determine dip if strike is known?
No. Strike is a line value whose direction is referenced with respect to true north. Dip can be any 0-90 degree angle (below horizontal) perpendicular to that line. It must be physically measured in the field....usually by some seriously underpaid graduate lackey.
