91.

The horizontal angle between the true meridian and magnetic meridian is known as

A.	true bearing	B.	dip
C.	local attraction	D.	magnetic declination

92.

Due to the magnetic influence of the earth, the magnetic needle of the prismatic compass will be inclined downward towards the pole. This inclination of the needle with the horizontal is known as

A.	true bearing	B.	dip
C.	local attraction	D.	magnetic declination

93.

At the equator, the amount of dip is

A.	0?	B.	45?
C.	60?	D.	90?

94.

At the magnetic poles, the amount of dip is

A.	0?	B.	45?
C.	60?	D.	90?

95.

Which of the following statement is wrong?

A.	The magnetic meridian coincides with the true meridian at all the places	B.	The magnetic meridian does not vary from place to place on the earth's surface.
C.	The magnetic declination at a place is constant.	D.	all of the above

96.

The lines of earth's magnetic field run from

A.	south to north	B.	north to south
C.	east to west	D.	west to east

97.

In order to fix up the directions of the survey lines in the compass survey, the horizontal angle between the survey line and a fixed line of reference is measured. This fixed line reference is the magnetic meridian.

True

False

98.

The lines passing through points at which the magnetic declination is equal at a given time are called

A.	isogonic lines	B.	agonic lines
C.	isoclinic lines	D.	none of these

99.

The diurnal variation of the magnetic needle is

less

100.

In high latitudes, the diurnal variation of the magnetic needle is greater.
