Score : 2, Time : 4 Minutes
Scoring Indicators
a. Spring
b. Autumn
c. Summer
d. Winter
12. Learning Outcome
• Analyses the importance of Greenwich line and the International date line in time

a
calculation and prepare notes al
Each degree of longitude corresponds to four minutes of time. How can we
arrive at this fact?
er
Score : 3, Time : 3 Minutes
Scoring Indicators
K

• Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, ie., 360° or 1440 minutes
• In other words it takes 1440 minutes to complete one rotation.
T

• Hence 1° of longitude corresponds to 4 minutes (1440 ÷ 360 = 4 min)

R

13. Learning Outcome

E

• Analyses the importance of Greenwich line and the International date line in time
calculation and prepare notes
C

The world is divided in to 24 time zones.

S

a. What is the longitudinal extent of each of these time zone?

b. What is the time difference within a time zone?
Score : 2, Time : 3 Minutes
Scoring Indicators
a. 15°
b. 1 hour

15. Learning Outcome

• Analyses the importance of Greenwich line and the International dateline in time
calculation and prepare notes
Explain the significance of Greenwich meridian and International date line in
determining time.
Score : 3, Time : 3 Minutes
Scoring Indicators
• Greenwich meridian - 0° longitude. It is based on this longitude that the time is
calculated worldwide.
• International date line - 180°longitude. There is a difference of 24 hours on either
side of this line of longitude. So it is drawn deviated to avoid the land areas and to
pass entirely through the ocean.
16. Learning Outcome
• Analyses the importance of Greenwich line and the International dateline in time
calculation and prepare notes
Every country considers a particular longitude as their standard meridian for
determining time. Why?

a
Score : 3, Time : 3 Minutes
Scoring Indicators
al
• The local time is different at different longitudes. If the same country follows different
er
time, this may create a lot of confusions and problems. So the longitude passing
almost through the middle of the country is considered as the standard meridian.
K

The local time at this longitude is considered as the Standard Time.

17. Learning Outcome
T

• Calculates the corresponding time in India and other countries based on Greenwich
R

line.
E

Why do certain countries consider more than one longitude as their standard
meridians? Give an example for such a country.
C

Score : 2, Time : 2 Minutes

S

Scoring Indicators
• It is not practical to follow only one Standard Time for the countries with wide
longitudinal extent. So more than one longitudes are considered as standard meridians.
• Eg: Russia, China, USA
18. Learning Outcome
• Calculates the corresponding time in India and other countries based on Greenwich
line.
What is the standard meridian of India?
