MCQ
Which among the following is denoted by $\delta$?
  • A
    Horizontal component.
  • B
    Magnetic meridian.
  • C
    Magnetic declination.
  • D
    Magnetic inclination.

Answer

  1. 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.
