Yes
Latitudes at equator(lat =0) have the least magnetic variation, the values increases as we move toward north (ie greater latitude).

What is the name given to the difference between true north and magnetic north?
magnetic variation
How does latitude affect magnetic dip angle?
This phenomenon is due to "dip" or declination of the magnetic lines of force and vary with latitude. Only at the magnetic equator are the lines of force parallel to the surface.
What does the magnetic dip preserved in a rock indicate?
the rock's magnetic latitude at the time that it formed
What is the current magnetic variation in the UK for navigational purposes?
11 west
Is magnetic north equal to true north at any time during the year?
No. However, "magnetic north" is equal to true north for certain PLACES. The magnetic north pole is a slowly-wandering point which is currently in northern Canada. A line drawn from the north pole to the magnetic north pole, when extended through the rest of the world, defines a line of zero "magnetic variation", the amount by which magnetic north differs from true north. Most navigational maps are overprinted with lines of equal magnetic variation, and a navigator who neglects to properly apply the magnetic variation will become quickly lost.
How to find magnetic variation if latitude and longitude is known?
Magnetic variation can be found on all nautical charts. On most it will be located within the compass rose nearest to desired location. The annual change is in parenthesis, the calculated date is shown.
How is the annual rate of change for magnetic variation shown on a pilot chart?
not shown
Where is magnetic variation greatest on Earth?
The magnetic variation is greatest on earth at greggs in pakistan.... no need to thank me for the answer
If in Crete Greece what would the magnetic variation be?
The magnetic variation of Crete is approx. 3.2 degr EAST Greetings, Dimitris
What is the Is the difference between true North and magnetic north?
magnetic variation
How does one measure magnetic variation?
Magnetic variation (also known as magnetic declination) is often indicated on maps. But if the magnetic variation of a location is unknown, a declinometer can be used. Basically, this tool determines the angle between the celestial pole (roughly indicated by the North Star in the northern hemisphere) and the magnetic pole (indicated by a compass).
What is the name given to the difference between true north and magnetic north?
magnetic variation
How does latitude affect magnetic dip angle?
This phenomenon is due to "dip" or declination of the magnetic lines of force and vary with latitude. Only at the magnetic equator are the lines of force parallel to the surface.
What is magnetic variation?
Since the Earth's magnetic poles are not located at the geographic poles, a magnetic compass doesn't point to 'true' (geographic) north. The DIFFERENCE angle between magnetic north and true north is the magnetic variation or declination where you are. It changes for different locations.
What is the term used for difference between true north and magnetic north?
Magnetic declination or variation.
Different magnetic deviation and magnetic variation?
In relation to aviation... Deviation is the difference between a true heading and the compass heading. The compass heading is different from true due to magnetic fields induced by the components of the aircraft. Variation is the difference (angle) between True North and Magnetic North. Variation changes depending on your position and is normally indicated on maps as a dashed line with the variation in degrees along that particular line.
What does the magnetic dip preserved in a rock indicate?
the rock's magnetic latitude at the time that it formed
