Choose the correct option.
Options
- ATrue dip is not mathematically related to apparent dip.
- BTrue dip is less than apparent dip.
- CTrue dip is always greater than the apparent dip.
- DTrue dip is always equal to apparent dip.
Correct answer
B. True dip is less than apparent dip.
Step-by-step solution
If the apparent dip circle is at an angle α with true dip circle then, tan ϕ ' > tan ϕ   ⇒ ϕ ' > ϕ Therefore, apparent dip angle is greater than true dip angle. Hence, true dip ( ϕ ) is less than apparent dip ϕ '
