What else can I help you with?
Do the time zones follow straight lines or do they zigzag as they cross land?
Time zones generally follow straight lines, with slight adjustments to accommodate political boundaries and geographical features. However, there are instances where time zones can zigzag to conform to specific country borders or regions that choose to observe a different time standard.
Do the time zones always follow the lines of longitude?
yes
Do time zone boundaries coincide with state boundaries?
Time zones do not necessarily follow state boundaries. Oregon and Idaho are split between the Mountain and Pacific time zones. Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, North and South Dakota are divided between Central and Mountain time zones. Florida, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee are split between Eastern and Central time zones.
What types of boundaries do subduction zones occur?
Convergent Boundaries!
Why are time zone boundaries not completely straight?
different time zones are needed to tell time
How are times zones marked on a time zone map?
By vertical lines, like meridians, but not always straight.
How are time zones marked on a time zone map?
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).
Explain why time zones boundaries are not completely 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.
What type of boundaries are subduction zones associated with?
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
Why don't time zones exactly follow lines of longitude?
In order to avoid splitting a state, county, city, or town with a time-zone boundary. Can you imagine how you might handle your work schedule, dental appointments, bus schedule, or the TV prime-time lineup, if your city had two different time zones in it ?
Why are the time zones not all straight lines?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. Therefore, sunlight doesn't always hit in the same spot all the time, so time zones have to be out of proportion.
Why is constructive boundaries a good nickname for divergent boundaries?
Its because they are zones/areas of new crustal formation/creation.
