What is Strike and Dip and How is it Indicated on a Map?

Instructional video intended for geology students learning what strike and dip is, how to put it on a geologic map, and how to interpret existing strike and dip symbols on maps.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

The best explanation on Strike and Dip I have come across on KZbin. Clear, concise and visually makes sense. Thank you for posting this.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@3runjosh]

no one else could make me understand this lol. I hope you live 10000 years to keep teaching

[@beatrice5329]

This is the best explanation I've ever heard about strike and dip, I wish I had you as a professor

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Aw thank you!

[@ariltonmarcolinoantonio5983]

The simplest and clearest explanation I've ever seen about strike and dip conception. Thanks a lot👌👏🙏

[@bhoena]

very clear video to explain strike and dips for dummies! thank you so much in helping me understand geological mapping.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Happy to help!

[@tabomayapi568]

My lecturer failed to explain this in 6 months. You've done it in 6 minutes

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am glad this clarified things for you!

[@fibonacimike4110]

Watched and read many explanations and this is the simplest most concise and by far the best explanation.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

So happy it was helpful!

[@fibonacimike4110]

@@ruppertrocksgeology watch a few other of your videos and love them.

[@lachiejg5838]

You have an amazing way of explaining things. Please keep making these videos for future students to come across, it really helps us. Bless you.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am so happy my teaching style suits you! I usually make videos on my summer and winter breaks as I never have time during the school year!

[@ashutoshkumar-is7dj]

this is EXACTLY what they teach uni (which im in) for thousands of dollars with worse explanations. SOOO thankful for this.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am happy this helped you!

[@abburuachyutaram6619]

Beautiful. You a great teacher. Loved rhe explanation. Like to see more such ones on geology

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I post videos only during my breaks as I do them on my own time since I am too busy during the school year. But I am about to start releasing videos of me at various national parks - about one per month...so stay tuned!

[@Efefem]

Thank you so much for the clarity! It made me a little bit LESS overwhelmed with all of this info!!

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am glad it helped!

[@jaimegonzalez3830]

masterfully explained.

[@ZhaoweiWang]

Thank you so much for sharing. It makes the concept so much more clear to me now!

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am so glad!

[@farhan.adi252]

that's a clear and great explanation, I understood it right away, thank u!

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

You are welcome!

[@lherman1211]

[@christophermuzvondiwa7669]

Simple and clear explanation. Thanks

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am so glad it helped Christopher.

[@caesarcarlossalad9051]

I'm studying geology at university, and this topic resulted unclear to me, but thanks to your video, it's now super clear! Thank you from Italy :)

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

You are welcome from California, USA. 🙂

[@dm-hz5ux]

So helpful omg !! 💜💜

[@TheSauceGiverUTC]

this is very straightforward, thanks

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am glad it makes sense!

[@pranavchandrode7127]

Intutive explaination I was looking for. Thank a lot!

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I am glad it helped! Please suggest other topics you need help with. I am about to make another set of videos to post in the next few weeks!

[@ayenibenjamin4219]

Like your manner of explanation. Please, kindly do videos on orogeny and their influence on deformation of basement rocks and in the creation of sedimentary basins.

[@twigsfloat2773]

This was great, thank you!

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

So happy it helped!

[@utkarshgoel7873]

See you after a long time Nice to see you again. Thanks Mammme

So happy it helped!

[@Dave_ohio_543]

Nice job explaining a concept I have been struggling with.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Glad I could help!

[@omoniyiomolere]

Nice video, well explained more of ur video on structural geology plz

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

I will see what I can add this summer. 🙂

[@J_Seneca]

Very great video, thank you

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

You are very welcome.

[@ashutoshkumar-is7dj]

i feel like i just graduated with a bachelors in geotech after watching this

[@fahimmontasir8574]

Thanks for an easy explanation

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

You are so very welcome!

[@mslilovaya733]

thank you !

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

You are very welcome!

[@iliaskoufogiannis7933]

Nice explanation dear colleague!

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Thanks for the watch!

[@hadron7219]

mam can you show how to calculate and write strike, dip amount and dip direction on same fold using brunton compass.

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

That is on my list to eventually do! I have more coming out in the next few weeks but that one will be later.

[@kdramalive1706]

My professer was confused himself while explaning this😂

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Sometimes it is hard being live in front of a class! I have been lecturing and my brain goes onto another topic before my mouth is done saying what it needs to say about the current topic and that is not a good result. Now I have been teaching for so long that I usually don't have those sorts of things happen anymore! I hope at least my explanation was helpful.

[@downey2294]

I'm no geology student but why exactly would you want to map out these features? what is the practical application?

[@ruppertrocksgeology]

Hi! Great question! When you understand the direction various beds and fault travel underground you can predict where certain resources can be found if you drill down. The resources can be things like oil, natural gas, gold, etc. I hope that helps!

[@Imgroot24]

Mam im from india....not well understand English can u help

[@jsEMCsquared]

Is this stupid geometry? I still don't understand why it's so complicated? Someone please help me understand why

[@Bellaaaa698]

thank you!
