🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between time meridians and standard time zones • Location of Pensacola Bay, Florida within U.S. time zones • Standard spacing of time meridians (every 15° of longitude)

💭 Think About

• First, decide which U.S. time zone Pensacola Bay actually uses for civil time. • Then, recall the standard time meridian (in degrees west) associated with that time zone. • Compare Pensacola’s approximate longitude with the listed meridians to see which standard meridian logically applies.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which time zone the Florida Panhandle (Pensacola area) observes. • Confirm the standard meridian (in °W) for that time zone before looking at the answer choices. • Check that the chosen meridian is one of the regular 15° intervals used for time zones (… 60°, 75°, 90°, 105° W, etc.).
