Question

Difference between magnetic inclination and declination??

Answer 1

MAGNETIC DECLINATION

1.Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a compass needle points) and true north. The declination is positive when the magnetic north is east of true north.

MAGNECTIC INCLINATION

Magnetic inclination is the angle made by a compass needle when the compass is held in a vertical orientation. Positive values of inclination indicate that the field is pointing downward, into the Earth, at the point of measurement.
