===How to interpret strike and dip of bedding rocks from images or topographic maps===
Determining the direction of strike and dip can be done by looking at the secondary data. The result of this determination is still tentative and should be checked in the field. Steps for determination of strike / dip of rock layers through a topographic map are as follows:
  −
* Choose a hill or high topography that extends
  −
* Pull the longitudinal direction of the hill or high topography as the direction of strike
  −
* Directions of dip is determined by looking at the density of [[contour]] lines on both sides of the line of strike that has been withdrawn
  −
* Directions of dip is parallel to the most tenuous density contour of both sides of the strike
