<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Geologic maps frequently have little T-shaped symbols with numbers next to them. These symbols, known as attitude symbols, denote the orientation of planar and linear geologic features such as bedding, lineations, foliations, joints, faults, or other types of fabrics measured in rock outcrops. Geologists usually take these measurements using Brunton compasses. The long axis of the attitude symbol is rotated on the map to show the strike direction or bearing of the feature. The value next to the symbol denotes the dip or plunge of the feature. These attitude measurements help identify faults and folds.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
