The Right Hand Rule - Structural Geology

We take a look at what the right hand rule means with regards to geology, and apply it to a simple strike and dip problem.

Thank you very much. Answered exactly what I was searching for

[@firdushhussain7043]

Strike direction is a pair..strikeline is a line and a line has two ends..so two direction pairs form A-line....good video sir...though mentioning only one directions seems easy to plot in practical purposes

no future in geology after MSc Geology

[@RoseKentish]

geology must be difficult for those who are missing a right hand

[@tomhesemann3680]

What am I missing here. Dip angel is measured down from the horizontal. Isn't the dip angle in the drawing wrong?

[@Tuillyy]

You are right that dip is measured down from the horizontal, but if you take the drawing he made, and put a horizontal near the top of the "rock", then label the dip angle theta, you can see that *if* the "bottom" of the rock that he drew is also a horizontal, using right triangles to solve for all of the angles, and the two angles will be identical (35 degrees).

[@Jungleland33]

Why not just take a reading from your compass and use the value below 180° ?

[@nythawk]

The strike direction is supposed to be a pair,not a single direction

[@geologic7656]

I've seen it done like that, too. It doesn't matter too much since even with one direction stated alone, the other one 180 degrees from it is implied.
