How many times zones does the world have?

One would think the answer is 24. But no. There are a total of 55 about time zones in the world. Why so many? Each country decides their specific time. Most will adhere to a regional time zone, bit many will countries and regions that have their own time zones that are off by 30 minutes from the time zone around them such as Newfoundland, Venezuela, India, and Iran. Some are off by 15 minutes such as Nepal. In the Pacific several islands have their own time zones. They will share the same time as a neighboring island, but they are one calendar day ahead or behind their neighbors.


How wide do fault zones get?

Fault zones can vary in width from a few centimeters to several kilometers, depending on the type of fault and the tectonic setting. In general, strike-slip faults tend to have narrower fault zones, while thrust faults can have wider zones due to the greater amount of crustal material involved in the deformation.

How many time zones is the earth divide?

The earth is divided into 40 formal time zones, not 24 as might commonly be expected. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones for a complete list. Note that the number of time zones also varies with the season as some regions adopt daylight savings time (DST) while others (in the same time zone) choose not to use DST. This can lead to a seasonal increase or decrease in the total number of time zones. According to PHC there are 24 Major time zones
