Time Zones originate at the 0 degree longitude meridian, this was referred to as the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) replaced the GMT in 1972. This starts at the same coordinates but uses a cesium beam atomic clock with leap seconds added to the time to match the earths motion. So, in other words, each time zone other than that of the UTC is either plus or minus the hours in which direction that would be taken to a different time zone. If you would go west of the 0 degree meridian, for instance, the correct time would be -1 hour, or it would be +1 hour if you go eastward per each time zone. In answer of this question, the answer seems to be yes, each time zone is eqivalent to one hour.
