Question

Different between true dip and apparent dip in geological map

Answer 1

Explanation:

This angle is commonly called the directional angle . If it is 90°, the apparent dip equals the true dip; if it is 0°, the apparent dip is 0° and on the cross section the plane appears to be horizontal. Consequently, on cross-sections, most dips are apparent and are greater than 0° but less than the true dips.
