13 21. Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the United States time zone map shown below. The dashed lines represent meridians (lines of longitude). If the time in Buffalo, New York, is 5 am, what time would it be in San Francisco, California? (1) 8 am (2) 2 am (3) 3 am (4) 4 am 22. The basis for the time difference between adjoining time zones is Earth s (1) 1 per hour rate of revolution (2) 1 per hour rate of rotation (3) 15 per hour rate of revolution (4) 15 per hour rate of rotation page 13

14 23. Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the passage and time zones map shown below. Time Zones In 1883, Earth was divided into 24 time zones. The United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) has four time zones, which are indicated by different shadings on the map. Each zone is roughly centered on lines of longitude that are 15 apart. These lines are shown as dashed lines on the map. Most locations within a time zone have the same time. This time is called standard time. As you move to the west, the time in each zone is one hour earlier than the previous time zone. When it is 1 am in New York City, what time is it in Denver? page 14

15 24. Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the 2001 edition of the Earth Science Reference Tables, the map below, and your knowledge of Earth science.
