Magnetic dip, also known as magnetic inclination, refers to the angle that the Earth's magnetic field lines make with the horizontal plane at a given location on the Earth's surface. This angle is measured in degrees, and it can indicate whether the magnetic field is pointing downward into the Earth (a positive dip) or upward out of the Earth (a negative dip). - **Positive Magnetic Dip**: When the magnetic field points downwards towards the Earth, the dip is considered positive.
