What are Stereonets used for?
Stereonets are a graphical tool representing the hemisphere of a globe, used for presentation, analysis and interpretation of three-dimensional directional data such as planes and lines.
How do I change the color of my stereonet?
Click and drag outside of the stereonet to instantly see the plane in three dimensions. You can also edit the color and opacity of the plane. Lines Click on the interactive surface of the stereonet to add a new line, the line will automatically show up in three dimensions.
How is a plane plotted on a Stereonet?
Plotting a plane: 1) Starting with the overlay and stereonet N marks coinciding, mark the strike azimuth on the primitive circle. 4) Trace the great circle that crosses through this dip. 5) Rotate the overlay back so that the two N marks coincide again. Check that your plotting makes sense.
What is a primitive on a Stereonet?
The Primitive Circle is the circle that surrounds the stereonet. Great Circles are the curved lines that connect the points labeled N and S on the stereonet.
How do you convert a strike to a dip?
Step-by-Step Summary
- Access the Utilities program tab.
- Create a new datasheet and enter/import the data that lists at least one column of values that represent strike bearing (0 – 360 decimal degrees).
- Select the Utilities | Planes | Strike->Dip Direction menu option.
- Enter the menu items, described above.
How do you find the rake of a line on a stereonet?
Rake is simply the angle between the strike direction and the lineation trend. You can figure this out simply on a stereonet by just counting the grid squares along the great circle line. Rakes of 0° are at North and South, while a rake of 90° is in the middle.
Where can I find location data on stereonet?
Points with location data can be plotted on a Google satellite (or terrain or roadmap) image right in the program. This version of Stereonet is compatible with all modern operating systems and has a modern user interface which has been modeled after OSXStereonet for Mac by Nestor Cardozo and me.
What kind of data can stereonet read and write?
It can read and write older Stereonet text files, can read the Stereonet 11 binary files, but saves its data in a new binary format. Stereonet can now label the outer edge of the primitive with Cardinal coordinates and azimuths at 30° intervals.
Is there a compatible version of stereonet for Mac?
This version of Stereonet is compatible with all modern operating systems and has a modern user interface which has been modeled after OSXStereonet for Mac by Nestor Cardozo and me. It can read and write older Stereonet text files, can read the Stereonet 11 binary files, but saves its data in a new binary format.
How does stereonet 9 work on Google satellite?
Stereonet 9. Stereonet 9 brings location and date tagging of individual measurements as well as a free form notes field. Points with location data can be plotted on a Google satellite (or terrain or roadmap) image right in the program.
