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).
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.
