Why does the earth rotate along its magnetic meridian?
It doesn't. The north pole and the north magnetic pole are miles apart.
A dip needle in a plane perpendicular to magnetic meridian will remain?
VERTICAL
What cause deviation in a magnetic compass?
The compass needle will only align itself with the magnetic meridian if it is free from all other influences except the magnetic field of earth.This is rarely so, particularly on a ship which constructed on steel. The magnetism induced in the steel by the earths magnetic field causes the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian, by an amount which is called the DEVIATION.
What is inclined at an angle 11.5 degrees to Earth's rotational axis?

How many norths are there?
There are three norths: true north, magnetic north and grid north. According to www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk, the three norths are defined as follows: Grid North: the direction of a grid line which is parallel to the central meridian on the National Grid. True North: the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the North Pole. Magnetic North: the direction indicated by a magnetic compass. Magnetic North moves slowly with a variable rate and currently is west of Grid North in Great Britain.

Is Every meridian is distorted by magnetic declination?
No. The meridians are where they are because their location is defined. Magnetic effects don't distort them, any more than you could use a magnet to move the 47/8-inch mark to a different place on a ruler.
