Approximately how many degrees mark each time zone?

Theoretically, there are 24 times zones to cover the earth. So each time zone is 1 hour of time difference and 15 degrees. (Divide 360 by 24). However, practically, some time zones are larger than others. The line that seperates time zones are not straight. For example you can travel in the Central Time Zone and cover all of Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama before the time changes. I'm sure that is greater than 15 degrees of earth's rotation.

What are natural features?

Natural features are significant land or water that is not man-made. By definition, natural is existing in or produced by nature; not produced by man or artificial.

Geologically, a formation is a natural body of earth, such as an outcrop or deposit with distinctive and characteristic properties allowing study and mapping of the structure or strata on or below the surface.

A feature is typically defined as related to archaeology and consists of man-made or altered items that are not portable and must otherwise be recorded. For the purposes of this section the archaeological component of 'feature' is ignored and redefined as an easier way of describing formations not so apparent to the typical definition.

What will happen if you fill your wetsuit with air?

Assuming you are talking about a wet suit and not a dry suit, nearly nothing. Your suit will dispel the air as soon as you put it in the water. How fast depends on how deep you go (pressure) and how long you are there. Mainly it will be no different then when you put on your wet suit for your first dive of the day when the suit was dry. I do not understand why you would fill your wet suit with air other then possibly it being too loose. If that is the case get one that fits better.

How do you use reverse psychology to get the truth?

You're asking a broad question here because I don't what type of situation you're going through. When you use reverse psychology to get the truth, you're trying to make that person realize that keeping the truth from you is wrong. I think that's what you were trying to ask me, if that person still doesn't say the truth after using it, just walk away if that person is stubborn of telling the truth. You can't solve anything if its hidden.

In a time of such things as Newtown/Sandy Hook this is very uncomforting.
