One of the directional properties of a geologic structure such as a fold or a fault. Dip is the inclination angle of the formation as measured at right angles to strike.

The magnitude of the inclination of a plane from horizontal. True, or maximum, dip is measured perpendicular to strike. Apparent dip is measured in a direction other than perpendicular to strike.
