The strike is the direction of the vein at the surface. The dip is the angle of the vein into the ground relative to horizontal. A vein going straight into the ground, like a well casing, would be a dip of 90*. Usually the dip is given as an angle, and a direction...the direction being the direction of the dip as it goes into the ground...like it dips at a 40* angle to the northwest.

wow that helps some, I'm still wrapping my mind around it, and thanks hope you don't mind if I ask you more in the future. I'm trying to figure out surveys and the maps
that go with.

Is this an example of the dip?

I love Tnet because of stuff like this. Am so glad there are people who don't mind sharing their knowledge. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Jim, that is a big help. I can look at the maps with a little more knowledge.
