The angle between the strike and the direction of true dip is

  • A.90 degrees
  • B.45 degrees
  • C.0 degrees
  • D.180 degrees

Answer: A

Correct answer: 90 degrees

True dip is the direction of steepest descent, and that is necessarily perpendicular to the horizontal line in the same plane. The relation is a matter of geometry rather than of geology, and it is why a strike and dip can be plotted as a single T-shaped symbol on a map.
