The sighting of a old man, a dead corpse and a diseased man during the time of famine made Gautama sad and this encouraged him to leave the wealth of his palace and lead the life of an ascetic. His departure from home is also known as "The Great Departure". I hope the answer helps you.
Answer:
In the given topography, point A is the northern side at a height of 2690 feet. B is at a height of 2220 feet and location C has a height of 2340 feet. A and B are separated by a horizontal distance of 520 feet, B and C are separated by a horizontal distance of 250 feet and C is located at N35°E of point B.
From the above data, we can demarcate the topography of the area. The area is inclined towards the southern side as when we move from point A to C and C to A the elevation gradually decreases.
Thus, <u>the exposed rock unit in that area dips towards the South and the strike direction of this rock is the East-west direction.</u>
Dip is defined as the angle made by a rock bed with respect to a horizontal line and strike refers to the direction of the line that is formed due to the intersection between a rock surface and a horizontal plane.
Dip and strike always perpendicular to one another.
