The angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles is called
the declination. How does the declination change as you move north from where
you live?

Respuesta :

We can confirm that the angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles known as the declination, moves further east as you move towards the north.

What does it mean that the declination moves east as you go north?

Contrary to popular belief, there is a difference between the magnetic and geographic poles of the Earth. For example, the Magnetic North pole is located near the country of Greenland, while the geographic North pole is located on the northern end of the axis on which the Earth rotates, further east in relation to the magnetic north pole.

Due to this, these poles form an angle with vertex at the equator. Therefore, when moving North, we move further away from the vertex and the angle opens further, the more towards the north we move, the further east the geographic north pole will be, since North is decided following the axis of the magnetic north pole.

Therefore, we can confirm that the angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles known as the declination, moves further east as you move towards the north.
