The rock is striking South or 180 according to the Right Hand Rule. Using dip/dip direction clears up this common mistake. If you don't use the RHR, saying the rock strikes North would mean it could be dipping to the West or the East.
so, the strike in your case is considered north at 1:52 , geologists use right hand thumb rule to give the direction of dip and strike. here, right hand thumb points to true dip and perpendicular first finger points to strike direction. To follow a universal convention strike always points to north and dip to the west.
thanks so much. was finding difficulties understanding from lectures and textbooks i have. After watching this I can see and understand everything !! Thank you again
Wonderful explanation of strike and dip, which I learned in 9 minutes compare to three weeks of reading chapter 10 to 18 of open university materials. Thanks again!
Como determinar el rumbo y el buzamiento de cada uno de los estratos mostrados..pero tambien hay una explicacion adicional sobre sinclinales y anticlinales...
How come isnt it south? No geology doesnt just wanna keep thing simple it is a right hand rule that make that to be North which is the rule that says the beds should dip towards your right hand as you stand along the strike line and the direction towards is the direction of the dip.
I find it hard to understand how the sedimentary layers folded without breaking at the folds. Also, how come the layers don't show erosion between them?
