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.
Which type of fault occurs when portion of rock moves upward leaving the other in place with a dip?
The answer is a dip-slip fault, When a portion of rock moves upward leaving the other in place with a dip this is known as a dip-slip fault.
Angle of dip zero at equator?
the magnetic field of earth is parallel to the earth surface
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 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 does a dip compass do?
A compass does not point to the North Pole, it aligns itself with the lines of magnetic force at your location. In the Northern Hemisphere you are closer to the North Pole, so the strength from that direction is greater, and the compass "points north". In the Southern Hemisphere, similarly, the magnetic South Pole is closer, and the other end of the compass points to the south Pole. So far so good. But when you are close to either pole, the magnetic field dips into the earth - steeply at the Poles themselves. [Ordinary compasses are counterbalanced a little so the compass needle or card is approximately horizontal. The compass manufacturers divide the earth into five 'balance' zones.] So a dip compass is suspended between two pivots, and will indicate the steepness of the magnetic fields dip. It differs from an ordinary compass.
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 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.

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
What do the 3 marks on 1997 Escort 2.0 Transmission Dip Stick indicate?
It is important for a car owner to understand the markings and stamps on a vehicle. The three marks on a transmission stick indicate the level of fluid, when hot and cold.?æ
