well some points are
The axis of the huge magnet assumed to be lying inside the earth is called magnetic axis of the earth. The points where the magnetic axis cuts the surface of earth are called magnetic poles. The circle on the earth's surface perpendicular to the magnetic axis is called magnetic equator
Angle of inclination or Dip (ø): It is the angle between the direction of intensity of total magnetic field of earth and a horizontal line in the magnetic meridian
A vertical plane passing through the geographical axis is called geographical meridian
