    1.The strike line of a bed, fault, or other planar feature, is a line representing the intersection of that feature with a horizontal plane. So strike is a line that is horizontal. 2.Dip is the angle made by a strike perpendicular line and the bed measured in a vertical plane.

    Dear Anwar...as you always know direction is measured in horizontal manner so whether it is strike or dip direction it's always in horizontal fashion. DIP angle has a amount that is measured in vertical plane. option one is correct let me draw
