The range of dip is from -90 degrees (at the South Magnetic Pole) to +90 degrees (at the North Magnetic Pole). Contour lines along which the dip measured at the Earth's surface is equal are referred to as isoclinic lines. The locus of the points having zero dip is called the magnetic equator or aclinic line.

Answer:

the angle of the dip will be 90 degree at the Magnetic North pole

Explanation:

Angle of dip is 90 at geographical North Pole because attraction on the North Pole of needle is very strong and the needle remains in vertical plane. At the magnetic equator, the needle will point horizontally, i.e. dip angle is 0°.

As you move from the magnetic equator towards the magnetic pole, the angle increases in the northern hemisphere. So, the angle of dip is maximum.
