If there is a difference of 15° of longitude for each hour of time, how much difference in time is there for 1° of longitude? for 1r of longitude?
You may not always have a time zone map available, but by remembering the relationship of 1 hour for every 15° of longitude, you can easily calculate the difference in time between places. Indicating and using the standard meridians to determine time zones, solve the following problems.
What will be an ideal response?
4 minutes of time (1 hr or 60 min / 15)
4 seconds of time (1' = 1/60 of 1°; 4 seconds = 1/60 of 4 min)

This type of thermometer has a glass bulb attached to a sealed, graduated tube about 25 cm (10 in.) long. A very small opening, or bore, extends from the bulb to the end of the tube. A liquid in the bulb (usually mercury or red-colored alcohol) is free to move from the bulb up through the bore and into the tube. When the air temperature increases, the liquid in the bulb expands, and rises up the
tube. When the air temperature decreases, the liquid contracts, and moves down the tube. Hence, the length of the liquid in the tube represents the air temperature. a. liquid-in-glass thermometer b. mercury thermometer c. maximum thermometer d. minimum thermometer e. thermistor
