Document Summary
They are all mapped on some sort of map or satellite image that shows topography. We are taking about that the magnetic pull is not in the same spot as the gravitational pole. And because it moves around from the outer core it drifts. So every map you see that has magnetic declination will give you the year it was produced and it will give you the difference between magnetic north, true north, and. The angular distance between magnetic north and true north depends where you are and its called magnetic inclination. When you look at true north in alberta its east. In ontario, true north is towards the west. in lakehead, the magnetic north and true north, it lines up together. I t i s t h e m e a s u r e m e n t o f t h e a n g l e s h o w n a s x .
