Taking True Dip and Strike Using a Compass Clinometer Learning how to measure the true dip and strike is fundamental in geological mapping. These measurements help us understand the orientation of rock layers, faults, and mineralized zones. With a compass clinometer, the geologist aligns with the strike direction and reads the dip angle perpendicular to it , turning field observations into real geological insights. #GeologyInAction #FieldMapping #StructuralGeology #NCGideon #MiningEducation #Exp
