Today we learned How Geographers Describe Where Things Are? we Defined Time Zone, UTC, GMT, Daylight Savings Time, and Standard Deviation and we also Described how geographers calculate standard deviation off of time at UTC. we talked about how A time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries of countries and their subdivisions because it is convenient for areas in close commercial or other communication to keep the same time. and we discussed how Most of the time zones on land are offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a whole number of hours (UTC−12:00 to UTC+14:00), but a few zones are offset by 30 or 45 minutes (e.g. Newfoundland Standard Time is UTC−03:30, Nepal Standard Time is UTC+05:45, and Indian Standard Time is UTC+05:30). we also went over Some higher latitude and temperate zone countries use daylight saving time for part of the year, typically by adjusting local clock time by an hour. Many land time zones are skewed toward the west of the corresponding nautical time zones. This also creates a permanent daylight saving time effect. From the middle to the end we talked about how the Earth as a sphere is divided into 360º of longitude.–Divide 360º by 24 time zones (one for each hour of day) equals 15º. Each 15º band of longitude is assigned to a standard time zone. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is…–Located at the prime meridian (0º longitude). Passes through Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England–Master reference time for all points on Earth. The International Date Line is… –Located at 180º longitude. Position deviates from 180º longitude at times to accommodate various nearby nation-states. –Point you move the clock back 24 hours (one day), if you are heading eastward toward America. –Point you move the clock ahead 24 hours (one day), if you are heading westward toward Asia. After that we were told that we were told to reveiw for our quiz tommorow on Friday, September 26 2019.
