At a point A on the earth's surface the angle of dip `delta = +25^(@)`. At a point B on the earth's surface the angle of dip, `delta = -25^(@)`. We can interpret that :

A

A and B are both located in the southern hemisphere.

B

A and B are both located in the northern hemisphere.

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In northern hemisphere, dip angle is positive whereas in southern hemisphere, dip angle is negative.
