Only in a few states does the border coincide with the watershed line of large rivers and it turns out on one side of the river one state, and on the other completely different. On USA political maps the borders of fifty states, absolutely equal subjects of the federation, are drawn.

Time Zone Map

Five US time zones

In 1878, the famous Canadian engineer S. Fleming first proposed the term standard time, which was adopted in 1884 at a regular meeting of the International Astronomical Congress. The idea of ​​S. Fleming was as follows, the surface of the globe was conventionally divided by meridians into 24 hour zones each 15 ° or 1 hour long. At the same time, in each time zone there is a time that corresponds to the average meridian of this zone. When moving from one zone to an adjacent one, the standard time changes by a jump of 1 hour. The local time of the individual time zones has special names. For example, the time of the zero zone is called Western European, the time of the first zone is called Central European, and the time of the second zone is called Eastern European. For the first time, standard time began to be used in 1883 in Canada and the United States. From the beginning of the 20th century, it began to be used in European states.
