    At a point A on the earth’s surface the
    angle of dip, ``δ`` = +25°. At a point
    B on the earth’s surface the angle of dip, ``δ``
    = -25°. We can interpret that:
    (1) A and B are both located in the northern
    hemisphere.
    (2) A is located in the southern hemisphere
    and B is located in the northern
    hemisphere.
    (3) A is located in the northern hemisphere
    and B is located in the southern
    hemisphere.
    (4) A and B are both located in the southern
    hemisphere.

    Sol. Angle of dip is the angle between earth's
    resultant magnetic field from horizontal. Dip
    is zero at equator and positive in northern
    hemisphere.
