Question

A bed with an attitude 045°, 20°SE is rotated 60° clockwise (looking down) about a vertical axis. The strike value (in the azimuthal convention following right hand rule) of the rotated bed is ______ degrees. (In integer)

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 105

Given:
Strike = \(045^\circ\), dip = \(20^\circ\) toward SE (dip direction = \(135^\circ\)). 

Rotate 60° clockwise (looking down):
Azimuths increase clockwise, so add 60° to the strike: \[ \text{new strike} = 45^\circ + 60^\circ = 105^\circ. \] Answer (integer): \(\boxed{105^\circ}\)
