Question

At point A on the earth's surface the angle of dip, d = +25°. At a point Bon the earth's surface the angle of dip, d = −25°. We can interpret that

Options

• A and Bare both located in the northern hemisphere.

• A is located in the southern hemisphere and B is located in the northern hemisphere.

• A is located in the northern hemisphere and B is located in the southern hemisphere.

• A and Bare both located in the southern hemisphere.

Answer 1

A is located in the northern hemisphere and B is located in the southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The angle of dip, as we know, is the angle between the earth's resultant magnetic field and the horizontal.

The dip is zero at the equator. The drop is positive in the Northern Hemisphere. The dip is negative in the southern hemisphere.
