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
Angle of dip zero at equator?
the magnetic field of earth is parallel to the earth surface
Difference between thrust and reverse fault?
There is a slight difference. A thrust fault is a variety of reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
Is it true that charged particles from the solar wind come closest to earth at the equator where earths magnetic field lines dip to earths surface?

What is the north latitude for Texas?
The state of Texas extends a little more than 10-1/2 degrees in latitude. Its northernmost extent is the border between the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, at 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude. Its southernmost extent is the dip in the Rio Grande River about 1.6 miles south of the intersection of Browne Ave. and Southmost Rd. in Brownsville, on the US-Mexico boundary at about 25 degrees 50.2 minutes north latitude.

Is there any detailed explanation on angle of dip in physics?
Yes,angle of dip,or angle of inclination is the angle that a compass arrow direction or an axis of magnetic needle makes with plane of the horizon. Strike and dip are the terms of Geophysics and Geology applied them to determine the coordinates of the location of any geological object.
What is that angle made by the earths magnetic field with a horizontal plane at a point on the earth?
It's called the Dip.
What is the angle of dip at the poles?
90degree
A dip needle in a plane perpendicular to magnetic meridian will remain?
VERTICAL
The dip of a unit represents what?
The dip of a unit represents the angle at which the bed inclines from the horizontal. In dip-slip faults, the fault blocks move up and down, parallel to the dip of the fault plane.
Name at least three magnetic metals from the periodic table of the elements?
to describe earth's magnetic field, there are three magnetic elements of earth listed as under, 1. angle of declination 2. dip 3. horizontal component of earth's magnetic field
The angle of the land is measured by this?
Of the land surface, you may refer to slope, or gradient. In geology, the dip angle is the name given to the angle down which a strata follows.
Difference between thrust and reverse fault?
There is a slight difference. A thrust fault is a variety of reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
What is Dip in Mining?
dip is angle of ore body from horizontal plan.and strike is perpendicular to dip.these are important parameters to represent orientation of ore body.
Somehow dipstick was broke and is in its dip stick hole will it affect engine workings?
Possibly. Purchase a magnetic tipped extension at most auto parts stores. It is small enough to go into the tube and grab the dip stick. The above advice will probably not work if the dip stick broke along the plastic handle. I retrieved my dip stick through the use of a dowel (actually a wooden skewer) and some super glue. It took a couple of tires, but once I got the glue to set properly without touching the inside of the dip stick tube, the broken stick came right out.
