🔍 Key Concepts

• Earth’s magnetic field and how it intersects the Earth’s surface • Difference between horizontal and vertical components of magnetism • Standard compass terms: variation, deviation, dip, inclination

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to a magnetic needle as you move from the magnetic equator toward the magnetic poles: how does it behave vertically? • Which of these choices is a specific, standard compass term used in navigation textbooks and tables, not just a generic phrase? • Ask yourself: What term is used on charts or in navigation references when discussing the vertical pull of the Earth’s magnetism on a compass needle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is a recognized technical term in magnetism and navigation, not just a descriptive phrase. • Check that the term you choose is associated with the vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field, not the horizontal component. • Confirm that the term is something you would see in compass error discussions and magnetic charts.
