地质罗盘的使用（The use of geological compass） The use of geological compasses Compass, geology The use of geological compasses is a necessary tool for geological work in the field. It can help set the direction, location of the observation point, measure any observation plane spatial location (such as the rock strata, fold axial plane and fault plane, such as the location of the joint surface structure), and determination of igneous rocks of various structural elements, ore body occurrence. Therefore, we must learn to use the geological compass. First, the structure of the geological compass: There are many kinds of geological compass, but the structure is basically the same. We usually use a round basin geological compass. The needle and dial, inclinometer, aim at the target level, and other parts which are installed in a copper, aluminum or wooden round basin. (a) needle - generally wide in the middle on both sides of sharp diamond needle, is installed in the chassis of the central thimble, can rotate freely, should not tighten the brake screw, the needle lift pressure to avoid collision and a needle cap tip in the cover glass, in order to protect the thimble tip, extend the compass use time. Relax the fixed screw at the time of measurement, the needle free swing, finally still points to the radial direction of the needle needle. Because our country is located in the northern hemisphere at both ends by the magnetic needle range, make the needle out of balance. In order to keep the balance in the needle tip of the needle often laps around the wire, with the north and south ends of the needle is easy to distinguish. (two) the horizontal scale dial - level dial is the mark this way: starting from zero counterclockwise every 10 degrees a moment, continuous to 360 degrees O and 180 degrees respectively N and S, 90 and 270 degrees for E and W respectively, which can be used to directly measured ground magnetic azimuth angle of straight line between two points.
