Refer to Figure 6.23 to describe the strike and dip of the limestone layer

Introduction:
The sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments that are transported by running water to the shallow seas, and over time they undergo processes like compression, compaction, burial, and cementation in the deep crust to form sedimentary rocks.
Answer to Problem 1LR
Correct answer:
The strike in the given limestone layer is 25 ° East. The direction of dip is 180 °, and the angle of dip is 40°.
Explanation of Solution
The method of calculating the strike, angle of dip, and direction of dip includes the measurement of strike and dip present on the rock layers or planar features. The strike in limestone is defined as the compass direction that is relative to north. It is constructed of the line formed by the intersection of a rock layer. The strike of the limestone layer is 25 ° East, the direction of dip is 180 °, and the angle of dip is 40°.

However, Physical Geography exemplifies understanding spatial patterns. For example, we could research an area's cases of West Nile Virus using a table filled with location and number of deaths and it would be useful. However, an even better way to look at the information in order to search for an underlying pattern and an explanation would be to map the data. For the Chapter 1 Discussion, find a thematic map from your house, the Newspaper, the Internet, the textbook, or wherever you find one! Be sure to include the source such that any of us can get our hands on the same information/map. First DESCRIBE the patterns that you see. Then, INTERPRET the reasons for the pattern. For example,the figures above and below are maps with information plotted. Remember, descriptions are not arguable. Descriptions are factual…arrow_forward
