Episode 2: Terms No.2

Welcome to geology by Sam preparation for the ASBAG exams. Topics include vocabulary, terms,

and in the future, poems and rants. Everything discussed is related to geology and I hope this

This leaves a positive impact.

This recording is going to cover previous definitions and terms by also trying to include

two possible answers.

Starting with, what is the apparent dip of a bed?

Apparent dip of a bed or plane is the inclination of that bed or plane in a direction not perpendicular

to strike.

Apparent dip of a bed or plane is the direction of a bed or plane not 90 degrees to strike

and can be solved with a formula.

What is hydraulic gradient I?

The change in head per distance along a flow path between two points where head is measured.

is a dimensionless quantity. Hydraulic gradient is also the change in head per distance, basically

slope, between two known points, thus dimensionless. What is permeability?

Permeability is the property of a porous rock or soil for transmitting a fluid, and it measures

relative to the ease of flow under unequal pressure.
