On going from North pole to equator,the value of angle of dip varies from 90° to 0°.
Explanation:
Magnetic dip is defined as the angle between the total strength of the earth's magnet and horizontal line to the magnetic meridian.
The magnetic strength of the earth varies with its radius. Earth is a sphere and the magnetic value is large at its centre.
The magnetic needle stands vertically if it placed in the poles of the earth and it lies horizontally if it placed in the equator of the earth.
The magnetic dip varies from 0° to 90° when moved from equator to poles.
