Question 1438Navigation General
70% to passThe standard meridian for the time zone +1 is _______________.
A
7 1/2°W
B
0°
C
15°W
D
7 1/2°E
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 15°W. The standard meridian for a time zone that is +1 hour offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is 15°W. This is based on the time zone system, where each time zone is defined by a standard meridian that is 15 degrees of longitude apart. The time zone +1 hour offset from UTC corresponds to the time zone with a standard meridian of 15°W. The other options are incorrect because: A) 7 1/2°W is not the standard meridian for the +1 time zone, B) 0° is the standard meridian for the UTC time zone, and D) 7 1/2°E is the standard meridian for a different time zone.
