🔍 Key Concepts

• Magnetic dip (inclination) – what it means when a compass needle tilts up or down relative to the horizontal • How lines on the Earth are named when they connect points of equal magnetic property (e.g., equal variation, equal dip, equal intensity) • The special location on Earth where the magnetic field is exactly horizontal

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to a magnetic needle at different latitudes – where would it neither point upward nor downward? • Match each term to what it usually describes: equal variation, equal intensity, no dip, or no horizontal angle difference from true north. • Ask yourself: which term sounds like it would relate specifically to a boundary similar to the geographic equator, but for magnetism?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of magnetic dip – it is the angle the magnetic field makes with the horizontal, not with true north. • Identify which option refers to a line where dip is zero (needle lies perfectly horizontal). • Eliminate any term you know is associated with magnetic variation (declination) or with field strength, not dip.
