The dip of a bed is the angle between the bed and the

  • A.strike, measured in the plane of the bed
  • B.ground surface, measured along the outcrop
  • C.horizontal, measured in a vertical plane
  • D.vertical, measured in a horizontal plane

Answer: C

Correct answer: horizontal, measured in a vertical plane

Dip is the angle of steepest descent of the bedding surface below the horizontal, and it must be measured in the vertical plane containing that steepest line. Measured in any other vertical plane the angle comes out smaller, which is the apparent dip.
