Attitude

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000210

The orientation of a planar geological feature, such as a bedding plane, fault, or joint, in three-dimensional space. It is typically described by its strike and dip measurements. Geologists use attitude data to reconstruct the structural history of an area and to predict the subsurface geometry of rock units.
