The angle of dip in southern India is about 18 degree, but the angle of dip in Britain is greater about 70 degree. How it is 70 degree?

Magnetic inclination or dip − Dip at a place is defined as the angle made by the direction of the earth’s total magnetic field with the horizontal direction. It is denoted by δ.

Near the equator the earth magnetic field almost parallel to the horizontal direction so the angle of dip is very small.
