Time zone-A region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes.
UTC- Coordinated Universal Time- the primary time standard by which the world regulates the clock and time
GMT-Greenwich Mean Time-the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich in England
Daylight Savings Time- time adjusted to achieve longer daylight time
Standard Deviation- when you add or subtract one hour from the UTC
Geographers calculate standard deviation by dividing 24 (hours in a day) by 360 (amount of degrees in the world). 360 divided by 24 is 15 and every 15 degrees on Earth's surface it deviates 1 hour. When you move west it subtracts an hour and when you move east you add an hour.
