Q

Which is the standard meridian for the time zone +1?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between time zones and 15° of longitude • Definition of a standard meridian for a time zone • How east longitudes relate to positive time zones (+) and west longitudes to negative time zones (-)

💭 Think About

• If each time zone covers about 15° of longitude, what longitudes would roughly correspond to +1, 0, and -1 time zones? • Where is the 0 time zone (UTC) centered, and how far east or west must you go (in degrees) to reach the center of the +1 time zone? • Which answer choice represents the central meridian of the +1 time zone, not its edges?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that each hour of time difference ≈ 15° of longitude. • Identify that UTC (0 time zone) is centered on the Prime Meridian (0°). • Check which option is 15° east of the Prime Meridian, not half that distance or in the wrong direction.
