A geological compass is a specialized tool designed to meet the demands of field professionals who require accurate directional and angle measurements. Unlike standard compasses, geological compasses combine magnetic orientation with vertical angle reading, enabling users to capture both strike and dip of geological formations—key data for structural geology and terrain analysis.

Key Features

Strike and Dip Measurement: Accurately record rock layer orientation, fault angles, and bedding planes.
Built-in Clinometer: Measure slope and vertical angles up to 90°, essential for terrain and structure analysis.
Magnetic Compass with Damping: Smooth, fast-settling needle ensures precise azimuth readings, even in rugged conditions.
High-Visibility Scales: Degree markings and leveling bubbles ensure easy, stable readings.
Compact and Durable Design: Typically crafted from aluminum, copper, or reinforced plastic for long-lasting field use.

Wide Range of Applications

Geological compasses are used across many fields, including:

Geology and Earth Sciences: For field mapping, structural analysis, and research.
Mining and Civil Engineering: To measure rock orientation, tunnel alignments, and slopes.
Environmental and Land Surveying: For slope stability analysis and terrain profiling.
Forestry and Agriculture: To assess terrain for land management and planting.
Military and Outdoor Survival: As a reliable navigation and measurement tool in remote areas.
Education and Training: Widely used in universities and field courses to teach mapping and structural geology.
