What is the angle of inclination of the surface of a rock unit or fault measured from a horizontal plane?

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.

A horizontal angle measured clockwise from a north base line describes?
Azimuth
a horizontal angle measured clockwise from a north base line describes what?
an azimuth
what describes a horizontal angle measured clockwise from a north base line?
An azimuth.
What is the percentage slope of a 4 12 roof pitch?
The angle of inclination off horizontal is roughly 18-1/2o.
How does a plane work?
An inclined plane is a plain surface set at an angle other than a right angle against a horizontal surface
What is the angle between the ramp and the horizontal?
The angle of inclination.
The dip in a fault represents what?
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.
What is the definition of pitch in structural geology?
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.

a force P making angle of 30° with the horizontal bused to push a box of 10kg up and inclined plane with the angle of inclination of 30° with the horizontal. calculate the value of P?
300 beacuse 10x30=300

In geology what are strikes and dips associated with?
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.

What is the horizontal force when a force of 20N is inclined at an angle of 30 to horizontal?
The horizontal force can be calculated using the formula Fhorizontal = Fcos(θ), where F is the given force (20N) and θ is the angle of inclination (30 degrees). Plugging in the values, we get Fhorizontal = 20N x cos(30) ≈ 17.3N.
