Geological Map 3 – Introduction To True & Apparent Dip And Thickness Of Bed

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The traditional ;ethods of conducting la!orator< actiities assigned as %eel "5 =ill not !e a!le to proide the aenue for students to enhance independent learning actiities and inculcate creatiit< and innoation> The traditional ;ethod is full< prescriptie =here the three ele;ents na;el< pro!le; =a 4o=eer it is still necessar< to !e i;ple;ented as part of the =hole la!orator< course actiit< especiall< to first and second In this la!orator< actiit< student =ill !e e?posed to the techni@ue of producing the cross section profile together =ith the strike line and dip direction according to the gien outcrop>

1.2 OBECTIVES

The o!ecties of the test are i> To plot the cross section profile to deter;ine the rock strata !< referring to the geological ;ap gien> ii> To dra= the dip and strike of the rock strata iii> To calculate the ertical and true thickness of the rock strata

1.3 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

Dip & 1trike Dip is the angle !et=een a horiContal plane and an inclined plane> Dip is al=a Dip angles range fro; " for a horiContal !ed to :" for a ertical  !ed> 1trike is the co;pass direction of line for;ed !< the intersection of a horiContal plane and it usuall< e?pressed relatie to the north>

igure 7># 1trike and dip direction of rock strata

On Map 3 the contour ##"" ; for the geological !oundar< DE' coincides =ith the #""" ; structure contour for !oundar< (ED> Thus along this strike direction the top of !ed D is #"" ; higher than its !ed> This is the thickness of the !ed that =ould !e penetrated !< a !orehole drilled at point F>

ertical thickness T5 and True thickness T5 ertical thickness of inclined !ed is greater than the True thickness since the True thickness is ;easured perpendicular to the geological !oundaries> The angle H in !et=een T and T is e@ual to the angle of dip>

(osine H  T9T Thus T  T cosine H This ;ean the T of a !ed is e@ual to the T ;ultiplied !< cosine of the angle of dip>
