Any section cut parallel to the strike direction will show apparent dips of zero. This describes the cliff section in the Precambrian rocks.
Since the Paleozoic units are not dipping significantly, they will look to be flat in any vertical section.
Hence, they appear to be parallel.
Interesting observation
