innerlinjer

Innerlinjer, also known as inner lines, are a concept in the field of geology and structural geology that refers to the lines within a rock formation that are parallel to the bedding planes or foliation planes of the rock. These lines are often used to determine the orientation and attitude of the rock layers, which is crucial for understanding the geological history and structure of an area. Innerlinjer can be identified through various geological techniques, including field observations, geological mapping, and the use of remote sensing technologies. They are particularly useful in studying sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, where the bedding planes or foliation planes are well-defined. The study of innerlinjer is essential for geologists to interpret the tectonic forces that have acted upon the rock, the direction of sediment deposition, and the overall geological evolution of a region.
