A dip needle in a plane perpendicular to magnetic meridian will remain?
VERTICAL
What can the orientation of a rocks magnetic field can tell you?
The orientation of a rocks magnetic field can tell you it's relative age.
What is conformity in geology?
where the beds follow the same pattern of dip the opposite is an unconformity where the beds dip at different angles
Which way does the Earth's magnetic field point at the Equator?
The Lighter SideAt the moment it is stuck to my refrigerator door, if you want it give me a shout and I will pop it in the post to you.AnswerThe magnetic equator is mostly near the equator. The magnetic equator is the locus of points where a magnetic compass needle will be level, rather than dip slightly downward. As you approach the magnetic north pole, the compass needle will want more and more to point its north end slightly downward.There is a link below to an article on magnetic dip. It includes a map showing the magnetic equator in 1860. I am not sure why that date was chosen, but I doubt it has changed a whole lot since that date.
When might a compass NOT work properly?
A magnetic compass will not work near a magnet or any magnetic object. A magnetic compass doesn't work near the magnetic dip poles -- near Earth's local north magnetic poles or near Earth's south magnetic pole.
Is the earths dip the same everywhere in the world?
No.
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
A dip needle in a plane perpendicular to magnetic meridian will remain?
VERTICAL
Angle of dip zero at equator?
the magnetic field of earth is parallel to the earth surface
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.
Is snus the same thing as dip?
Nope, snus you don't need to spit, where you do with dip.
How do you find strike dip and dip direction on a contour map?
How to find out t booka he dip & strike in contour problems pls reply
What is conformity in geology?
where the beds follow the same pattern of dip the opposite is an unconformity where the beds dip at different angles
What can the orientation of a rocks magnetic field can tell you?
The orientation of a rocks magnetic field can tell you it's relative age.
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.
Are pop rocks and fun dip the same?
No. Pop Rocks are a candy that pop in your mouth. Fun dip is like sweetened kool-aid (tm) that you dip a candy stick into.
