I'm not a geologist, but in the opening definition "surface" seems more likely than "plane". Normally in scientific usage a plane is flat. Musiconeologist ( talk) 17:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
I've made the first paragraph more explanatory using information from the articles for the various technical terms it uses. But I had to keep its three references together at the end, as I don't have access to the books. I think it would be sensible to check whether they can now be moved to the specific points where they're relevant. Musiconeologist ( talk) 22:32, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
There are several issues with the second paragraph of the article as it stands. Safely fixing them requires more knowledge of geology than I have.
I'd like to add a sentence immediately after the existing definition similar to one of the following, but worded so as to accurately represent the usage within geology:
Alternatively I could just trust the OED definition and change surface to surface or line in the first paragraph, though this would be slightly less specific about what the line on a map represents.
