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

At a point A, the angle of dip is positive and the earth.s magnetic north .pole is in northen hemisphere. So, point A is located in the northern hemisphere and B islocated in the southern hemisphere.
