The 10 pages that link to Strike and dip, each with the reason it gives.

• Normal faultRelated: They specify the orientation of a normal fault’s plane.

• Geological mappingRelated: These measurements reveal how mapped layers and structures are oriented.

• Structural geologyRelated: They provide a standard way to map the orientation of beds, faults, and foliations.

• Thrust faultRelated: Dip measurements determine whether a reverse fault qualifies as a thrust.

• Strike-slip faultRelated: Strike-slip displacement is defined relative to the fault’s strike.

• Field geologyRelated: These measurements record the orientations of beds, faults, and foliations in the field.

• Geological mapRelated: Their symbols show how beds and other surfaces are oriented beneath the mapped terrain.

• Geologic mapRelated: These measurements help infer how rock layers and structures continue beneath the mapped surface.

• Focal mechanismRelated: These angles describe each candidate fault plane in a focal mechanism.

• Structural basinRelated: Dip measurements show whether strata incline toward the basin’s center.
