Answer:

37.75°

Explanation:

The distance between place marks A and B (AB) is 155 meters. The change in elevation (Δh) between A and B is 120 meters.

Dip is the angle at which a planar feature is inclined to the horizontal plane; The dip angle is always in a vertical plane and is measured downward from the horizontal plane, the dip is also perpendicular to the strike.

The dip angle of the Fountain Formation can be found by the following formula:

dip angle = tan⁻¹(change in elevation/distance) = tan⁻¹(Δh/d)

Substituting:

Dip angle = tan⁻¹(120/155) = 37.75°

How do the physical features of North America affect where people live?
Serggg [28]
A physical feature is the mountains, deserts, and lakes. It affects where people live because of the climate, food, and water available. For example, if you live in the mountains, than you must have more snow than someone who lives in the desert. People may not want to live there because of the cold, that is why many people do not live in the mountains.

Hope this helps! :)
