Spanish term or phrase: buza, afloramiento
Hola a todos:
Solamente me faltan estos dos términos para terminar mi traducción. En una hoja de excel donde se describe el yacimiento, dice °buza 73°NE". Afloramiento, referido a rocas, he visto "rise to the surface", pero no estoy segura de si puede decirse "surface" como sustantivo.

Muchas gracias

dips, outcrop
Explanation:
(la capa o estrato) buza o se inclina = dips (73° con dirección al NE) (probablemente antes de donde dice buza, debe aparecer el rumbo de la capa o veta, también medido como un ángulo con respecto al norte)

dip: The angle at which a stratum or any planar feature is inclined form the horizontal. The dip is at ar right angle to the strike. Dictionary og Geological Terms, AGI, 1976)

Es el ángulo que forman las capas o estratos de roca con respecto a la horizontal. El buzamiento (o ángulo del echado) es perpendicular al rumbo de la capa o estrato de roca.

Afloramiento, en Inglés, es un outcrop: the exposure of bed-rock or strata projecting through the overlying cover of detritus and soil (op cit)
