To explain the terms "magnetic declination" and "angle of dip" at a given place, we can break down the concepts step by step. ### Step 1: Define Magnetic Declination Magnetic declination is the angle between the magnetic meridian (the direction of the magnetic field) and the geographic meridian (the direction of true north) at a specific location on Earth. ### Step 2: Explain the Importance of Magnetic Declination Magnetic declination varies from place to place and changes over time. It is important for navigation, as compasses point towards the magnetic north, which may not align with true north due to this declination. ...
