Would I be correct in assuming this would be known as Hade in Cumberland?

According to Chamber's Dictionary of Science and Technology, hade is a geological term and is the angle of inclination of a fault plane as measured from the vertical. There is no indication that it is a "local term or phrase". Another one for the Aditnow dictionary? Gwyn.

Sounds about right. In 'Elizabethan Copper' it's used as inclination of the load. So for the dic. perhaps combine the two.I've been adding a few today 😞 really. I quite like Zighyr so will add that. Malcolm

Hade refers only to a vein or fault, whereas angle of dip can refer to any planar surface, including bedding, so the two terms are not quite interchangable.

There are 10 types of people in the world.

Those that understand binary and those that do not!

Dip is the angle below horizontal of an inclined feature.

So is the definition that I've filtched from Chambers accepted as the meaning of hade? I'll put it into the Aditnow dictionary, unless one of you beats me to it!

Hade, applies to the vertical vein , a good example would be the large vein at Long rake in derbyshire, you can actually see the curved rock walls that remain after the vein material has been worked out.

I've added it to the dic. If anyone has any problems with my definition it can easily be changed.
