Welcome to Vol. 3 - Time Zones
Here are two links you can use for finding out information you'll need for answering the following set of questions. This whole unit is worth a total of 17 points. All assignments must have BOTH the QUESTIONS and the ANSWERS. You can either e-mail me your SPELL CHECKED answers, or turn them in to your class's in-box in my room. Make sure that you have read over your answers SEVERAL times. Misspelled words will NOT be counted.
- (2 pts.) List the current time where you are now, and list the current time at some location that is of special interest to you. List both its location and time.
- (1 pt.) What is meant by GMT?
- (2 pts.) How many hours must we add or subtract from GMT to calculate our current time in Colorado? Be sure to indicate whether we add it or subtract it.
- (4 pts.) Why are the meridians used as the lines to separate time zones?
- (8 pts.) Why do you think the time zones seem to spread out wider on the map as you get closer to the North Pole?
