Meaning
An isogram connecting points of equal magnetic inclination.
Classification
Nouns denoting spatial position.
Examples
- The geophysicist plotted the isoclinal lines on the map to visualize the Earth's magnetic field patterns.
- Isoclinals are used in geophysics to identify areas of uniform magnetic inclination, which helps in mineral exploration.
- The cartographer carefully drew the isoclinal lines on the chart to indicate the direction of the magnetic field at each point.
- The research team used isoclinals to map the subsurface geology and identify potential mineral deposits.
- By analyzing the isoclinals, the scientists were able to reconstruct the Earth's magnetic field as it existed millions of years ago.
