As we go from North Pole towards the equator, the value of angle of dip decreases from 90 degree to 0 degree.
The angle of dip is the angle made by the magnetic field lines with the horizontal. It can be calculated by the formula tan theta = horizontal component of magnetic field divided by the vertical component. It will be numerically equal to the angle .
