The reason why the time zone lines follow irregular paths rather than straight lines, is to allow a number of small countries and islands to maintain a single time zone rather than being divided by these time zone lines. If an island is not very large, it just seems silly and a needless bother to have two time zones. So we just route the time zone line around it.
Time zones are marked on a time zone map using a series of vertical lines that represent the boundaries between each time zone. Each line indicates a change in time by one hour, with some lines extending out into the ocean to encompass specific regions. The time zones are typically labeled with the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
It depends on where you are the time zones do not run I straight lines
By vertical lines, like meridians, but not always straight.
time zones are not completely straight because it could split cities or counties in half. on half of the city could be in one time zone and the other half could be in another time zone. so the person across the street from you could be in a different time zone.
different time zones are needed to tell time
So that the time in the country of that time zone doesn't change.
Straight lines.
The South Pole does not have a specific time zone since all the lines of longitude converge there. Instead, researchers and visitors follow the time zone of their home base or operational headquarters.
you draw straight lines with a ruler
there are 5 straight lines
Straight lines that never cross are called parallel lines.
