The angle between the fault and a horizontal plane is called Dip angle. It lies between 0° to 90°.

Rake is also known as pitch and It is angle between line and the strike line of plane.
Rake Follows
Dip = 90°   Rake = 0°   > left-lateral strike-slip
Dip = 90°   Rake = 180° > right lateral strike slip
Dip = 45°   Rake = 90°  >  reverse fault
Dip = 45°   Rake = -90° >  normal fault
