Short answer type Question
Q.9. Define three components of earth's magnetic field. Show them in a single diagram.
 

Dear Student ,

Elements of the earth’s magnetic field are:
1.  Magnetic declination (θ): At a point on earth the magnetic meridian makes an angle with the geographic meridian. This angle is known as the magnetic declination or just declination.
2.  Angle of dip (δ): It is the angle made by the direction of the earth’s total magnetic field with the horizontal direction.
3.  Horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field (BH): It is the component of earth’s magnetic field along the horizontal direction.
So the angle of dip is the angle between earth’s magnetic field i.e. B and the horizontal component i.e. BH.
 
Hope, it helps you.
Regards
