Q

Which is the dividing meridian between zone descriptions -10 and -11?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Time zones and zone descriptions in nautical timekeeping • How zone numbers relate to longitude (each zone is generally 15° wide) • The meaning of negative zone descriptions (west of the prime meridian) versus positive (east)

💭 Think About

• How many degrees of longitude does one zone description usually represent, and how does that help place the boundary between -10 and -11? • If zone -10 is centered on a particular meridian, what are its approximate east and west limits, and where would zone -11 begin? • Look at each choice and ask: does this longitude make sense as a boundary between two adjacent 15°-wide zones?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the standard width of a time zone in degrees of longitude used in nautical practice • Determine the central meridian for zone -10 and zone -11 using their zone numbers • Check which option matches the midpoint boundary between those two central meridians
