magnetic dip
81angle of dip — The angle between the horizontal magnetic axis of a freely suspended magnet influenced only by the earth’s magnetic field and the vertical plane of the magnetic meridian measured in degrees. Also known as magnetic inclination …
82geomagnetic field — Magnetic field associated with the Earth. It is essentially dipolar (i.e., it has two poles, the northern and southern magnetic poles) on the Earth s surface. Away from the surface, the field becomes distorted. Most geomagnetists explain the… …
