Name: Date: Physical Geology-Homework 2 Section 1: Strike and Dip Notation Example: Quadrant Strike: S4S E Dip Direction: N45°E Why? The line of strike points toward the SE quadrant and is 45° from S (in quadrant, S and N are at 09). The dip direction is toward the NE quadrant and, because it is perpendicular to strike, it is 45° from N (0°) N (0°) Azimuth E (90°) Strike: 135 Dip Direction: 45° 45° Why? In azimuth compasses angles are measured using all 360 degrees of the circle so the line of strike is 135 from N (note: in azimuth, only N is at 0°, S is at 180°). Dip direction is 45° from N. Question 1:Give the strike and dip in quadrant and azimuth notations for the following. Quadrant N (0°) Strike: Dip Direction: w E (90°) Azimuth Strike Dip Direction:
