Structural Geology Lesson 1: Orientation of Lines and Planes

[@hermangodoyvizcarron]

Hi Blake : I have 30 years of experience in the geology field. I finished my degree at Ohio University 1982. I love to learn and re-learning too.If I compare your explanation with my teachers with master and Phd , now I can compare that your explanation is 100 times easier to understand . I would say that learning has been progressing and your method is very efficient .Congratulation! for this recreation .Your great and easy explanation can be understood without any complication .It was very difficult to comprehend in the past these simple lessons including azimuth and quadrant and the orientation of the plane like crystallographic axis orientation .Thank you very much!

Herman, Aura necesita hablar contigo, porfavor llamala en Argentina. Gracias

Hi there Blake! Thank Goodness I found this channel. We're having a 5 week preparation for fieldwork in the French Alps (4 weeks), and today was day one of the preparation. I didn't understand anything at all. We simply had 7 assignments. I couldn't do any of them, because I didn't understand anything at all! And we had 7 freaking hours for the assignments.... I'm dying! Thanks for the video's. They're a life-saver.

Aram Hassan good luck

[@authenticwarrior7877]

Well explained Blake...keep uploading lectures. It helps the geoscientific Community VC

Hola, thanks..I’m second year Geology student in Alexandria Egypt

[@محمدمكيسعدوننصر]

Hello

[@monmars8382]

You just saved me , THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@arunabhadas4927]

This is a lot easier to understand ☺️

[@babis487]

Thank you for this video its really help me a lot for my review for this year's board exam.

[@tianhanipah9783]

Best explanation! Thank you, it helps a lot!

[@bonnyzed9657]

Very illustrative one! Thanks!!

[@blackpirate6459]

sir can you define me the difference between a plunge and dip angle???

[@SGgeology]

Really good video 👌 👍

[@nonameokai]

Hi! This is a life saver! but do you mind explaining the trend measurement part?

[@damarisyarisetouw5970]

Hi Blake I thank you so much because your video helps me understand well the stereographic projection of line and plane. I got a question for you, for the plane reading (Strike, Dip angle), is it the true Strike or the Dip direction that you mean? I am kinda confused for this one Thank you in advance for your assistance, looking forward to your explanation :)

[@channelforearthing7727]

really thaks blake with you geology its easy

[@pukarsharma210]

pls explain why we measure attitude of rocks..?? what is the application of measuring attitude of rocks??

[@kaishuchiisiina2353]

8:08. Should that be S 5°E??? I am confuse

[@BSplitt]

Hi Kaishu, the video correctly lists it as S 85° E. You must start at the South direction and then measure the angle measurement eastward of South.

[@chenxidong1438]

Thanks a lot, It helps me to understand the trend and plunge finally. I am a petroleum student,but the slides given by uni for this part is quite confusing, i stucked here for almost 2 hours, hopefully i find this video.

[@BSplitt]

Glad I could help!

[@annagrendys6831]

How did you get from a strike 000 to 040 and from dip 60 to dip30? Was this just an example? I’m confused

[@BSplitt]

Yes, that is just a different example! The plane that I start referencing at 15:33 has no relation to either picture above.

[@baderalsed2951]

good effort

[@theviralpostofindia]

There is a little bit confusion in the way you explained trend and its counter part in the first box. Please suggest a good explanation

[@BSplitt]

Can you give a timestamp?

[@Rahulyadav-su1kt]

If i say strike:due south(270°),would it be wrong.If so please explain

[@MsBaouche]

very good. Thanks

[@cristhiandavidquinteroguti8433]

Thanks a million!!

[@tiffanysteinert]

Hi Blake, How did you know the trend was 200 and not 20??

[@BSplitt]

The trend line points in the down-dip direction!

[@tiffanysteinert]

Thanks for the prompt response! You're videos are great by the way; the best refreshers I've found yet.

[@m4l4k.]

soooo good thanks

[@hananehbika3652]

Plz what is different between trend and azimuth

[@rikalaveraman8769]

Please tell me a good book for practical work of structural geology. And a book for problems with solutions of structural geology.

[@BSplitt]

Hi rikalave, I used the book "Structural Analysis and Synthesis" by Stephen Rowland et al. I thought it was an excellent laboratory manual. This book is cited in my second video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4Wzm5hnestgrpY.

[@MrGreenLand]

Agreed. This is SUCH a good textbook!!! I'm using it to help me plan the next 3rd yr structural geology class. "Stereographic Projection Techniques for Geologists and Civil Engineers" By: Richard J. Lisle, Peter R. Leyshon is also very good. This was my bible when I was a student. It explains every method and technique you need to do on a stereonet.

[@grvd.]

Thank You so much!!

[@afkarsmsm7400]

Thanks 💜

[@Sivakrishna7075]

sir pls tell me after MSc Geology jobs Govt / private sectors.

[@kaishuchiisiina2353]

Thank you sir

[@mrsalvemex]

Thank you (: dint mention rake but ive learned a lot

[@JhawkBeats]

+Elmer Larios Rake and Pitch are the same thing

[@mrsalvemex]

Johnathan wasnt rake measured with 2 imaginary planes (horizontal plane and a plane that Islas paralel to the Libe)

[@beasthackerbloomberge4192]

Sir please share more vedio

[@Sivakrishna7075]

Dear sir I'm searching for geology jobs pls tell me

[@anwesharay130]

Why r you writing in reverse way

[@leoursino]

I give up! I never will understand how to meansure a line! For me rake and pitch is to same thing!

[@BSplitt]

They are the same thing.

[@aldeeleyquinto2741]

Exam na unya ataya

[@Sarah-zv8os]

wait..what??

[@पानी_की_तलाश]

Hi

[@jakeyjakey4018]

wow he screwed up on the right hand rule so much that i dont know how anyone could learn anything from it😂🤦‍♀️

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Good review. Please stop saying Oh for Zero. Oh is a letter, zero is a number.

[@HeyEveryoneHi]

Thank you sir
