The table below lists measurements from 10 normal faults in a small area on the island of Crete (Angelier, 1979). Plot the data on an equal-area net and determine the orientation of the principal stresses. (In reality, 10 faults are not enough to reliably determine the orientation of the stress ellipsoid; ideally, about 40 should be used.)
