Question

Define the following using suitable diagrams: (i) magnetic declination and
(2) angle of dip

​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) Magnetic declination:

Magnetic declination, sometimes called magnetic variation, is the angle between magnetic north and true north. Declination is positive east of true north and negative when west.

(2) Angle of dip:

Magnetic dip, dip angle, or magnetic inclination is the angle made with the horizontal by the Earth's magnetic field lines. This angle varies at different points on the Earth's surface.
