    The dip angle for the beds is measured from the horizontal surface to the uppermost dipping bed, perpendicular to the strike line. In short, dip is simply the angle between any strata with respect to horizontal. For diagram, please refer to the attached figure below.

    DIP is the acute angle that a rock surface makes with a horizontal plane. STRIKE is the direction of the line formed by the intersection of a rock surface with a horizontal plane.
