Question

The angle of dip varies according to

Answer 1

The angle of dip varies according to the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The angle of dip is the angle that is formed between the 'Earth's magnetic field' and the cutting horizontal plane.

• It differs at different places or spots on the Earth except at magnetic poles. The angle of dip remains stationary at 90° at the Earths magnetic poles.

• This angle helps in the determination of the magnetic intensity of a particular place anywhere on the planet.

Answer 2

The angle of dip varies according to Earth's magnetic field lines. The Magnetic Dip varies with different points on the planet's surface. Positive values of inclination means that Earth's magnetic field is pointing downward while negative values indicate that it is pointing upward.
