GEOGRAPHY
13
Time Zones the world is divided into 24 time
zones that are determined by how far they are
away from Greenwich, England.
TIME ZONES
14
Greenwich Mean Time The starting place for time
zones.

15
Daylight Saving Time from April to November
most of the U.S. shifts their clocks ahead 1 hour.
TIME ZONES
- Daylight Savings puts more sunlight hours in
the working part of the day.

longitude, also is exactly 12 hours behind
Greenwich, England.
TIME ZONES
17
Political Map show boundaries of countries and
sometimes of states and provinces.
MAPS
18
Resource Maps use symbols to show where oil is
pumped, minerals are mined, or certain crops are
grown.
MAPS
- They also show areas of human activity.
19
Climate Maps have blobs of shading or color
to show how hot, cold, rainy, or how dry a region
is at a given time of year.
MAPS
- The newspaper publishes a climate map.
20
Topographical Maps or called Physical Maps,
use colors, shading, or shapes to show mountains,
deserts, forests, lakes, and oceans.
MAPS
21
Key also called a legend, tells you what the
information of colors, shading, shapes, and
symbols stand for in a map.
