MCQ
Which among the following is denoted by $\delta$?
- AHorizontal component.
- BMagnetic meridian.
- CMagnetic declination.
- DMagnetic inclination.
✓
Answer
- Magnetic inclination.
Explanation:
Magnetic dip or inclination at a place is defined as the angle made by the Earth’s magnetic field with the horizontal in the magnetic
meridian. It is denoted by $\delta$.
Magnetic declination at a place is defined as the angle between the geographic meridian and magnetic meridian.
