Strike is best described as

the compass direction of a horizontal line on a bedding plane

at right angles to strike, in the downslope direction

Under the rule of Vs, the outcrop of a dipping bed crossing a valley makes a V that points

in the direction of dip (for beds dipping less steeply than the valley)

draw the topographic profile along the section line

To avoid vertical exaggeration that distorts dips and structures

parallel and of constant thickness at the dip read from the map

after the older beds but before the unconformity

Under the rule of Vs, the outcrop of a dipping bed crossing a valley makes a V that points
An outcrop that runs exactly parallel to the topographic contours indicates
An outcrop that runs straight across a valley, ignoring the topography, indicates
A wide, open V in the outcrop of a dipping bed indicates
On a map, symmetrical repetition of outcrop bands about a central axis indicates
A geological boundary that truncates the outcrops or structures of older rocks beneath it indicates
The first step in constructing a geological cross-section is to
Why should the vertical scale of a cross-section equal the horizontal scale?
When projecting beds into a cross-section, they should be drawn
A dyke that cuts the older beds but is truncated by an unconformity must have formed
