While technically speaking, Alaska is both the Westernmost and Easternmost US State (The Aleutian Chain of islands extends beyond 180 degrees longitude into the eastern hemisphere), The official International dateline was redrawn in order to keep the entire United States in the same legal day. The far reaches of the Aleutian Chain share the Hawaiian Time Zone making it -5 hours difference from Maine.
There are several time zones in the continental US. Eastern, Central, Mountain, Arizona, Pacific, and Alaska.
There are four different time zones in the continental United States. Starting from east to west, there is Eastern time, Central time, Mountain time, and Pacific Time.
There are 5 time zones in the continental USA and a sixth zone for Hawaii: Examples: 1 PM Thursday in the US Eastern Standard Time zone {EST} = GMT-5 2 PM Thursday in the US Central Standard Time zone {CST} = GMT -6 1 PM Thursday in the US Mountain Standard Time zone {MST} = GMT -7 12 Noon Thursday in the US Pacific Standard Time zone {PST} = GMT -8 11 AM Thursday in the US Alaska Standard Time zone {AST} = GMT -9 10 AM Thursday in the US Hawaii Standard Time zone {HST}= GMT -10
10 am Central Time (9 am Mountain Time in the two westernmost counties)
The Neritic zone, also called the Continental Shelf.
Toronto is three hours ahead of Canada's westernmost time zone, which is Pacific Time.
Continental Shelf
The ocean zone that covers the continental shelf is called the neritic zone. It extends from the shoreline to the edge of the continental shelf, which is typically around 200 meters deep. This zone is characterized by high levels of sunlight, nutrients, and biodiversity.
The subduction zone formed when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge is called an oceanic-continental subduction zone. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep oceanic trenches.
This is called the subduction zone.
False. The Pacific Time Zone is the farthest West.

The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
