beta diagram
beta diagram A stereographic diagram which represents the trend and plunge of the line produced by the intersection of two planes. In its application in structural geology, the dip and strike of a fold surface are recorded as a great circle, and two great circles representing both limbs of a fold intersect along a line called a β-axis (in this case the fold axis).
