Transcribed Image Text:Problem 2. The apparent dip of a fault is measured in two trenches. Toward 220° the
apparent dip is 16°. Toward 100° the apparent dip is 28°. What is the attitude (strike and
dip) of the fault?

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 4. The following are measurements of five lineations, taken at five đifferent
outcrops.
Locality
Attitude of outcrop surface
Pitch (rake) of lineation
N60W (300°), 84°N
N10W (350°), 30°E
N40E (40°), 70°S
N23W (337°), 30°W

If these lineations are elements of a planar fabric within a rock, then they should all lie
within the same plane. If you find this to be true, what is the attitude attitude (strike and
dip) of this plane?
