Plz help me if you can...
Question: A compass needle is not always balanced parallel to the Earth's surface but one end may dip downward. explain.

I've read in my physics textbook about the Earth's magnetic field but it doesn't answer the question or give me any hints!![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
