At a point A on the earth's surface of 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 northern hemisphere

B

A is located in the southern hemisphere and B is located the northearn hemisphere

C

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

D

A and B are both located in the southern hemisphere

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The dip is called positive if the north pole of the magnetic needle faces downward, negative if it faces upward. The magnetic dip is equal to `0^(@)` at the equator and increase positively in the northern hemisphere, negatively in the southern hemisphere
