Will titanium effect a magnetic compass?
Yes, it is commonly known as magnetic deviation
What is the angular difference between true North and magnetic North is called?
That's the "magnetic declination". Since the true north pole and the magnetic north pole are located at different points on the earth, the declination is a different angle in different places on earth.
What cause deviation in a magnetic compass?
The compass needle will only align itself with the magnetic meridian if it is free from all other influences except the magnetic field of earth.This is rarely so, particularly on a ship which constructed on steel. The magnetism induced in the steel by the earths magnetic field causes the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian, by an amount which is called the DEVIATION.

Different magnetic deviation and magnetic variation?
In relation to aviation... Deviation is the difference between a true heading and the compass heading. The compass heading is different from true due to magnetic fields induced by the components of the aircraft. Variation is the difference (angle) between True North and Magnetic North. Variation changes depending on your position and is normally indicated on maps as a dashed line with the variation in degrees along that particular line.
What is calgarys continent?
North America
Why deviation card of magnetic compass made on north hemisphere not suitable for south hemisphere?
Because the vertical soft iron changes polarity as the ship moves from one hemisphere to another the deviation recorded in one hemisphere will change
What are magnetic anomalies?
Magnetic anomalies occur where vast deposits of iron ore have caused a local deviation in the Earth's magnetic field.Any place where the Earth's magnetic field is not smooth and uniform.Some are so minor that they can't be detected without a million dollars worth of fancy equipment, some you can detect with a pocket compass.
What is mean deviation and why is quartile deviation better than mean deviation?
What is mean deviation and why is quartile deviation better than mean deviation?
If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
Does the compass needle point in the same direction indicated by the magnetic field maximum?
Your compass needle will align itself with the lines of magnetic force at your location. This will diverge from the simple 'earth monopole model' depending on the local magnetic field, and any local geomagnetic anomalies.On most topographic maps, the 'magnetic deviation' and its annual variance will be marked on the map legend. Where i am it is about 25 degrees east of the true magnetic north.
Relation between quartile deviation and mean deviation?
mean deviation =(4/5)quartile deviation
