If you think of the planet Earth as a very large round magnet, you can imagine the magnetic lines of force that come vertically out of the magnetic poles, then curve around to reach the opposite pole where they vertically return to the planet from the opposite direction. While the lines of force are parallel to the surface of the Earth, they are horizontal.
What else can I help you with?
Is the earths dip the same everywhere in the world?
No, the Earth's magnetic dip angle varies at different locations on Earth. The magnetic dip, also known as inclination, is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the horizontal plane, and it changes as you move from the magnetic North or South poles towards the equator.
How many magnetic poles are there on the earths surface?
2
What is it called when rocks are different because Earths magnetic poles change places?
Magnetic Reversal. Several magnetic reversals have occurred over geologic time.
The way in the Earths core spin is believed to be the source of its?
magnetic field.
How is earths magnetic field used by people and animals?
People use Earth's magnetic field for navigation, such as in compasses to find direction. Animals, like birds and fish, can sense Earth's magnetic field to navigate during migration or find their way in the ocean.
Is the horizontal component of earths magnetic field of induction equal at all places?
No, the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is not equal at all places. It varies depending on the location and can be influenced by factors such as latitude, longitude, and local geological features.
How a magnetic compass can be used to find directions on Earths surface?
A compass is an instrument containing a freely suspended magnetic element which displays the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the point of observation.
What does directive force magnets in a compass mean mesn?
It is the component of the earths magnet field which aligns the compass needle to the Magnetic North Pole. The Horizontal Component (directive force) is the greatest at the magnetic Equator (Aclinic Line), where the vertical component is the weakest. Above the magnetic north pole, it is the opposite. The Horizontal, or directive force is weakest and the vertical component is the strongest.
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 the earths dip the same everywhere in the world?
No, the Earth's magnetic dip angle varies at different locations on Earth. The magnetic dip, also known as inclination, is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the horizontal plane, and it changes as you move from the magnetic North or South poles towards the equator.
The possible source of earths magnetic core is?
The molten iron and medals inside the earths core are the reasons for the earths magnetic core.
Is earths core a source of earths magnetic field?
Yes.
Earth's magnetic field results from the spinning of the?
The earths magnetic field results from deep in the earths core. Magnetic conduction from within the earths core is believed to be the cause of this.
Are contour lines used to indicate horizontal distances or vertical distances on earths surface?
Horizontal
What is the main component on the earths surface?
Oxygen is the largest component of crustal rock.
Why do scientists believe that the inner core is the source of earths magnetic field?
because it has the hydro electric power to control the earths magnetic field
Switch in direction of earths magnetic north and south poles?
Magnetic Reversal
