Linear features use trend and plunge instead. Plunge, or angle of plunge, is the inclination of the feature measured downward relative to horizontal. Trend is the feature's azimuth, measured in the direction of plunge. A horizontal line would have a plunge of 0°, and a vertical line would have a plunge of 90°.
Fold axis plunge is measured in dip and dip direction (strictly, plunge and azimuth of plunge). The orientation of a fold axial plane is measured in strike and dip or dip and dip direction. Lineations are measured in terms of dip and dip direction, if possible. Often lineations occur expressed on a planar surface and can be difficult to measure ...
Trend and plunge are used for linear features, and their symbol is a single arrow on the map. The arrow is oriented in the downgoing direction of the linear feature (the "trend") and at the end of the arrow, the number of degrees that the feature lies below the horizontal (the "plunge") is noted.
MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) -Shares in Grifols fell by 30% on Tuesday, wiping nearly $3 billion off its market value, after hedge fund Gotham City Research questioned its accounting, prompting the ...
Fed officials appear to have a unified message this week on the question of how they should react to President Donald Trump’s new tariffs: We’re taking our time.
The three-dimensional orientation of a line can be described with just a plunge and trend. The rake is a useful description of a line because often (in geology) features (lines) follow along a planar surface. In these cases the rake can be used to describe the line's orientation in three dimensions relative to that planar surface.
Pumpkin Spice Spam. You know the nation has a pumpkin spice problem when even SPAM gets in on the trend and sells out in seven hours.Yes, people willingly spend their hard-earned money on cinnamon ...
For instance, according to the measurement conventions of structural geology, original bedding, S 0 intersected by a fold's axial plane foliation, forms an intersection lineation L 0-1, with an azimuth and plunge defined by the fold.
