    Answer: Plunge= 79.37°, Rake= 86° To get the plunge amount of slickenlines, apparent dip of slickenside should be measured towards N60W. tan(apparent dip) = tan(true dip) × cos(angle between true dip and apparent dip direction tan(apparent dip) = tan(80) × cos(20) = 5.33 Apparent dip= arctan(5.33) = 79.37° So, the plunge amount of lineation is 79.37° The rake of lineation on slickenside plane is 86° (measured along small circles) as shown in the attached figure.

    sir in this question,slickenside surface dips n10°e,80°w.in this n10°e is true dip Or Strike?what is it.???

    eduncle-logo-app

    and 80°w is true dip amount. cos is the difference of true dip direction and apparent dip direction but why u did minus of true dip amount and direction?

    eduncle-logo-app

    10°E is the strike direction of slickenside surface and 80° is the true dip amount of slickenside surface. You can consider slickenside surface as fault plane along which slip occurs.

    The true dip direction is N80W and apparent dip direction is N60W. I took the cos of angle between true dip direction (N80W) and apparent dip direction (N60W), which is equal to (80-60)= 20°

    ok sir

    eduncle-logo-app

    can i use formula cos(rake)=cos(bearing)×cos(plunge) to find bearing in any problem?

    eduncle-logo-app

    pls go through my today's post where i asked of finding bearing

    eduncle-logo-app

    Yes, you can use these two formula: For plunge: sin(plunge)= sin(dip) × sin(rake) For bearing: cos(rake)= cos(bearing) × cos(plunge) See the attached figure to understand these formula.

    Bed is diping N 80 degree west and Trend of slicken line is N 60 degree west so angle between them is 20° Apply tan rule ,then sin rule
