Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The angle of dip represents the inclination angle made by the Earth's magnetic field lines with the horizontal plane. At the magnetic poles, the magnetic flux lines plunge vertically down into or out of the Earth's core, meaning they are completely perpendicular to the ground level, which registers an angle of .
