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 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:
C

`because` At point A, angle of dip is positive and Earth.s magnet North pole is in southern hemisphere so angle of dip is positive in southern hemisphere A is located in southern hemisphere, B is located in northern hemisphere.
