    bearing in e-w??

    eduncle-logo-app

    Yes.

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir i could not understand the angle theta =25\u00B0 how 25° came

    eduncle-logo-app

    Angle theta is the angle between true dip direction (S65W) and E-W line

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir why e-w line?because it is asked in Q

    eduncle-logo-app

    Yes, because in question, they are asking the apparent dip along E-W, so you must take the angle theta as the angle between true dip direction (S65W) and apparent dip direction (E-W)

    i understood ..🙂🙂

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir the other part of the Q is asked bearing ?

    eduncle-logo-app

    explain that

    eduncle-logo-app

    Bearing is simply a direction. For example bearing of plunge is the direction of plunge.

    eduncle-logo-app

    You can simply say that bearing is 270

    eduncle-logo-app

    In structural geology, every direction is measured with respect to North, so 270 indicates west direction. And in question itself there are two possible directions (E or W), you have to find out, for which direction you have computed apparent dip.
