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.

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.


Convergent boundaries that produce maintains boundary produces?

Convergent boundaries that produce maintains are called subduction zones.


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 boundary do subduction zones form on?

Subduction zones form along some tectonic plate boundaries. Of the three general types of tectonic plate boundaries, we will see them form at some (but not all) of what are called convergent plate boundaries.


Do Transition zones mark the places where geographic realms meet?

Yes, transition zones mark the areas where geographic realms meet and blend together. They often display characteristics of both realms and may have unique ecosystems and cultural elements that arise from the merging of different regions. Transition zones can vary in size and complexity depending on the specific realms involved.
