Determine the strike direction of bedding plane which dips towards N30W. Ans is S60W according to the british right hand rule but in drawing how can we show,it is necessary to give arrows to the strike line?
The rule is there to help you and the user of your data to understand how to plot them, but the concept is that the strike is just a line. No need to put arrows
I'm an "American" professional geological engineer and have been practicing in the U.S. for over 15 years and field map structure frequently. I've always said I've used the right hand rule in which I calculate the Dip Direction as 90-degrees clock-wise from the strike direction, (much like you've shown in the video for the British right-hand-rule.) All my U.S. colleagues do it the same way as I do. When you reference the "American" right hand rule, are you perhaps referencing Central and South America? I guess that could be considered and "American" rule as well.
excellent explanation
explanation excellent
nice my lecture of all course!
