I think this was already asked a while ago but I don't really know much so... (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Apparent dips 033 40-SE and 140 42-SW. Find the true dip.

I haven't got a stereonet, someone else give it a go.

56.6 Degrees. I'm going to say East for the direction but the directions you gave conflicted with the trend of the line. The direction might be South. If I were to extend my answer, I would report a strike of 356.

There is an inherent difficulty in answering this question, as it depends on one's definition of a plate and the consideration of many minor and micro plates. One source I found says 12, Wikipedia says a combined of 17 major and minor plates. That's also not considering if the Eurasian plate is divided or if the Indo-Australian is 1 or 2 plates.

Far more detailed answer than I was expecting. Nice! Your turn!

Thanks!
On a stereonet, what is the name given to the great circle along which the poles to the planes of a fold lie?
