Question

Where the horizontal components of earths magnetic field is zero lies at

Answer 1

The standard value of the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is T. The horizontal component of the magnetic field varies according to the direction of the magnetic field in that particular place. The angle of dip at the equator is the maximum and at the poles is zero.

Answer 2

Explanation:

At the magnetic poles, a dip needle stands vertical (dip=90 degrees), the horizontal intensity is zero, and a compass does not show direction. At the north magnetic pole, the north end of the dip needle is down; at the south magnetic pole, the north end is up. At the magnetic equator the dip or inclination is zero.
