Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

Whether the layers located near the center of the map in section 14 tend to dip towards the northwest or southwest.

Introduction:

The direction of the strata of rock is represented by the direction of the strike and dip. The strike is represented by a horizontal line and the dip is shown by the vertical line that lies in perpendicular to the strike.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

Whether the rocks in section 18 dip towards east or west direction.

Introduction:

The dip found on the geologic map represents the acute angle formed by the surface of the rock with the horizontal plane. The strike represents the direction of the line which is made when the surface of the rock intersects with the horizontal plane.
