The phrase "a high dip" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing measurements or fluctuations, but it lacks clarity without additional context.
Example: "The stock market experienced a high dip last quarter, surprising many investors."
Alternatives: "a significant drop" or "a steep decline".
Many faults with a high dip angle are seen in these undulated reflectors.
Normal faults generally have a high dip angle of roughly ∼60 degree measured from the plate interface.
In contrast, the boundary fault in Liudong area is characterized by a high dip angle and intense activity with significant fault throw.
Considering such a relation, the configuration of the F1 segment is consistent with aftershock distribution, and it is reasonable that the segment has a high dip angle.
The nearly complete stress drop caused a high dip angle of σ1 axis, which is the reason why not a small number of normal fault type aftershocks have occurred.
The western section of the southeastern fault zone in Liudong area is merely controlled by the 527 Fault which has a high dip angle and strong activity, while its eastern section in Yaxi area is jointly controlled by the 527 Fault and the 543 Fault, which both have a relatively low dip angle and weak activity.
This comparatively larger decrease in temperature with time is caused by the structural feature of the reservoir, namely a higher dip causes the cooler water to easily move downward.
We could not rule out the possibility that a slip occurred with a high-dip-angle near the ground surface, such as a listric fault, but such a curved fault plane is not implied in the aftershock distribution from the JMA catalog.
Particularly, conventional 1D analysis provided a solution with a higher dipping angle compared to the assumed one.
As shown in Figs. 3(b) and (d), the dip angle of σ1 axis became as high as 57.5 60 degrees after the Tohoku earthquake both for regions A and B. This high dip angle of σ1 axis indicates that the original stress field of the thrust-fault type near the plate interface changed to that rather close to normal-fault type due to the occurrence of the Tohoku earthquake.
Depth section for relocated hypocenters shows that the earthquakes are aligned along a vertically dipping plane (Fig. 4b) approximately 1.5 km high (dip direction) and 0.7 km wide.
