Longitude or latitude is a Geographic coordination device, time zones are adopted.

That may be true as well, but the question asked if all time zones intersect in Antarctica and technically they do.

As indicated by the map above 11 time zones are adopted for the Antarctic, and is not divided into 24 time zones.

 

[Steve Harper]

No all time zones are used in the Antarctic. As you get closer to the South Pole, the time zones converge and become meaningless. For practical purposes time zones are usually based on territorial claims; however, many stations use the time of the country they are owned by or the time zone of their supply base

Your question did not ask how many time zones were "used". It explicitly asked if 24 time zones "intersected" in Antarctica. While 24 time zones are not used in Antarctica, they do technically intersect at the pole. Therefore, the original poster was correct in answering your original question. Your little map above shows time zones actually used in Antarctica. Again, that's not what so specifically asked which the point you made in post #140 ("You did not answer the question as asked").

"Technically, Antarctica, and the North Pole, fall under all time zones currently followed by the rest of the world. This is because the longitude lines that are used to define time zones all meet at the two poles."

"At the South Pole base, you can literally walk ... going through every single time zone..." - interview with Tamsin Gray, British Antarctic Survey meteorologist at the Rothera base in Antarctica (see video at 1:15 mark)

"Theoretically Antarctica would be located in all time zones."

Agree. Just because it is not practical to use 24 zones so close to the poles does not mean that they don't exist.

Agree. Just because it is not practical to use 24 zones so close to the poles does not mean that they don't exist.

Not only is it impractical to divide time zones in 24 divisions in Antarctica, it would be impractical to do so in Canada without some flexibility. In highly populated areas it would cause havoc. Ontario and Quebec would have 3 time zones each and Toronto and Montreal time would be different.

In actual fact, there are No Official Time Zones in Antarctica. The time zones indicated on the map are by different countries adopting a time zone for convenience for communication with the home country or with other scientific expeditions. When time zones were proposed by Sandford Fleming it became immediately apparent that to impose a time zone would be impractical.

False.

False. I turned my back for a second and he stole my ham sandwich.


Great bear tries to do that too.

 

[RandyAndy2]

I agree with MissCroft, the answer is false. If I remember my grade 13 physics class correctly, Fg = Gm1m2/r2 where
Fg = force of gravity, G = gravitational constant, m1 & m2 are the masses of the two bodies, r2 = the square of the radius or distance separating the two bodies.
Therefore at very high elevations the gravitational "pull" would be less than at very low elevations (because of a larger value of r2).

 

[HobbyHorse]

They absolutely can.
This is why you see them so often with seaweed trailing from their racks.
Or is that mermaids?

 

[Ceiling Cat]

False.

Gravitational pull of the Earth is not the same everywhere, the lowest gravitational pull is in some parts of the Prarie Provinces.

........... the squirrel said that you were messing with his nuts, so he ate your sandwich.

Squirrels have been known to eat snakes, birds, bird eggs, and insects

Moose have been seen diving under water, sometimes when they do that in the ocean they become crunchy snacks for whales.
