Define magnetic elements of earth.?

$\rule{200}{4}$

$\bold{\boxed{\large{\boxed{\orange{\small{\boxed{\large{\red{\bold{\:ANSWER}}}}}}}}}}$

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Definition\:}}$

→ Magnetic ( ) elements of earth at a place are the quantities which describe completely in magnitude and direction , the magnetic field of Earth at that place.

$\rule{200}{4}$

$\Large\underline\mathfrak{Magnetic elements}$

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{1). Magnetic declination \:}}$

→ Magnetic declination at a place is defined as the angle between magnetic axis and geographic axis at that place.

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Magnetic dip\:}}$

→ Magnetic dip is defined as the angle between total strength of earth's magnetic field and the horizontal line in magnetic meridian.

» The value of dip at a place lies between 0° and 90°. The value of dip is 90° at poles and 0° at equator.

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Horizontal component\:}}$

→ Horizontal component is defined as the component of total strength of earth's magnetic field in horizontal direction.
