Question

At a point 'A' on the earth's surface, the angle of dip is $\delta =+25°$. At a point 'B' on the earth's surface, the angle of dip is$\delta =-25°$. 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 in the northern hemisphere.
• C. 'A' is located in the northern hemisphere and 'B' is located in the southern hemisphere.
• D. 'A' and 'B' are both located in the southern hemisphere.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 'A' is located in the northern hemisphere and 'B' is located in the southern hemisphere.

In the northern hemisphere, angle of dip is positive and in the southern hemisphere, angle of dip is negative.
