  • 12. 

    How many degrees are in a time zone?

    Correct Answer
    15
    Explanation
    A time zone represents a specific region on Earth where the same standard time is used. The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude, and since there are 24 time zones worldwide, each time zone covers approximately 15 degrees of longitude. Therefore, there are 15 degrees in a time zone.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    How many time zones are there?

    Correct Answer
    24
    Explanation
    There are 24 time zones because the Earth is divided into 24 longitudinal sections, each representing one hour of the day. This division allows for standardized timekeeping across the globe, ensuring that different regions maintain a consistent time reference. Each time zone is approximately 15 degrees of longitude wide, with the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) serving as the reference point for the first time zone. As one moves east or west from the Prime Meridian, the time changes by one hour for each time zone crossed. Therefore, there are 24 time zones in total.

    What kind of map has the scale written out clearly?

    • Bar

    • Verbal

    • Ratio

    Correct Answer
    A. Verbal
    Explanation
    A verbal map is a type of map that has the scale written out clearly. Unlike a bar scale, which uses a line or bar to represent a specific distance, a verbal scale uses words to describe the scale. This allows for a more precise and detailed representation of distances on the map. A ratio scale, on the other hand, uses a numerical ratio to represent distances, which may not be as easily understood or interpreted by the map reader. Therefore, the correct answer is verbal.
