Is wind energy not from the sun?
No, wind energy comes from the sun. The sun's heat causes high and low air pressure zones around the world, and the difference in pressures causes the winds.
Shadow zones are areas where seismically waves do not travel?
yes
Why are there low speed zones on built up areas the physics behind it?
because people will fall down
If you have a two-story house with one unit can you just turn the 1st thermostat on the bottom floor since hot air rises?
If you have a single unit with 2 or more zones, why heat the unoccupied zones in order to warm the occupied one or vice versa. If there is a particular reason you ask then turn the second floor stat ``off``and try it.
What is the formula for change in time in physics?
Please check out the Related Link below -- It shows a World Time Zone map that is live & interactive. Click on a country of interest & see what happens. It's difficult to explain a simple answer for changing time zones around the world as many of the reasons for setting "local time" are political and have nothing to do with how the sun appears in the sky. For example, look at China, with one time zone, and just south of China are countries with six different time zones. And if you click on Australia (for a close-up view) you'll see that there is one little-itty-bitty corner in the south-eastern corner of Western Australia that has a 45 minute time difference from the rest of Western Australia. I don't know why, but I would guess that there is a political resaon - or maybe just plain defiance! If you are looking for a simple, school room answer, based on math and the sun, then maybe what you want is this answer: Time zones change around the world for every 15 degrees of longitude. But if you check out the REALITY of what people (politicians) choose for their local time then you'll see from the world map that 15 degrees longitude is only an answer when travelling across the empty part of the Pacific Ocean.

The basis for the time difference between adjoining time zones is Earth's?
Your question needs clarification. Adjacent time zones are always one hour different. Are you asking how the border between time zones is established? Are you asking why do we have time zones?
What is time difference between Brazil and Hong Kong?
time zones
Is there a difference in time zones between geelong and little river?
yes
What time difference generally exists between two adjacent time zones?
A time zone is a range of 24 longitudes where a common standard time is used. The time difference between two adjacent time zones is one hour.The average difference between two adjacent time zones, counting each zone with a different name as a different zone, is 0.86 hour. If you remove cases in which two adjacent zones have different names but no time difference, the average difference is 1.18 hours. The mode (the most common difference) is 1 hour. The least difference between adjacent time zones (besides 0) is 15 minutes, between India Time and Nepal Time. The greatest difference is 3.5 hours, between Afghanistan Time and China Time.
How many time zones are there between Dublin and Jakarta?
There is a 6 hour time difference. It is actually 7 time zones different, as some time zones are not 1 hour.
What is the difference between an atmospheric belt and an atmospheric zone?
belts sink and zones rise
Which receives the most solar radiation the tropics the polar zones the oceans or the temperate zones?
Ocean
What is the amount of time in between every time zone in the US?
The difference between time zones is one hour. There are 24 time zones - one for every 15 degrees of longitude.
What is the time difference between texas and canada?
There are two time zones in Texas, and there are six time zones in Canada. This question is too vague for an accurate answer.
What is the difference between the time zones?
it depends on the meridians the difference between each meridian is 4 minutes so every 15 is equal to one hour
How many times zones apart are portland and Boston?
There is no time difference between Maine and Massachusetts.
What is the importance of knowing how to compute for the time difference between time zones?
Computing the difference between time zones is useful for traveling, because you will be able to plan your arrivals and departures more effectively. Also, it is important to know what time it is when contacting someone at a great distance.
