Hold a ruler level, then slope the ruler to an angle of 45 degrees. The inclination of the ruler is now 45 degrees.
So if rock has been altered as to be unlevel, then the angle from the level is the rock beds inclination.
The angle of inclination refers to the angle between a surface (like the Earth's surface) and a horizontal plane, often used in contexts like the tilt of the Earth's axis. In contrast, the angle of incidence is the angle between an incoming ray (such as sunlight) and a surface, particularly in relation to how that ray strikes the surface. While the angle of inclination deals with the orientation of a surface, the angle of incidence focuses on the interaction between incoming rays and that surface.

The angle of inclination off horizontal is roughly 18-1/2o.
The angle of inclination.
The dip in a fault represents the angle of the fault plane from the horizontal surface. It indicates the amount of inclination or tilt of the fault plane.
In structural geology, pitch is the inclination of a planar feature (such as a bedding plane or fault) measured perpendicular to its strike direction. It describes the steepness of the feature as it dips into the Earth's subsurface. Pitch is often represented as an angle measured from the horizontal plane.
An inclinometer measures the angle of tilt or slope of an object or surface. It is used in various applications such as construction, engineering, geology, and navigation to determine the inclination or orientation of an object or surface relative to the horizontal plane.

The angle of inclination off horizontal is roughly 18-1/2o.
An inclined plane is a plain surface set at an angle other than a right angle against a horizontal surface
Strikes and dips are associated with the orientation of rock layers. The strike is the compass direction of a horizontal line on the rock surface, while the dip is the angle of inclination of the rock layer from the horizontal plane. They are fundamental in understanding the structural geology of rock formations.
