Correct Answer - Option 1 : Strike
The correct answer is option 1
- The inclination of rock beds to the horizontal plane is termed as ‘ dip’. The strike of an inclined bed is the direction of any horizontal line along a bedding plane. The direction of dip is always at the right angle to the strike.
- Strike in geology is a reference to the attitude of a geologic feature such as a fault, bed or any other planar feature.
- The line of a bed (for example bedding of sedimentary rocks), fault (for example oblique-slip fault), or other planar feature that intersects with a horizontal plane is known as a strike line and the entire concept is known as a strike.
- Thus, strike definition geology or strike geology helps in understanding the attitude or the position of the linear structural characteristics of the above mentioned geologic features.
- Strike geology is also used in maps to depict the orientation of a particular feature.
Therefore, the correct answer is strike.
