Time zones around the world - Worksheet | Year 6 Geography - Free Printable

To solve the problem, we need to determine the time in each of the specified countries relative to the UK (which is in the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) zone) when it is 12 o'clock in the UK. We will use the time zone map provided to find the time difference for each country.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1. Identify the UK's Time Zone
- The UK is in the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) zone, which is labeled as 0 on the map.
- If it is 12 o'clock in the UK, we will use this as our reference point.

#### 2. Determine the Time Zones for Each Country
- Using the map, locate each country and identify its time zone offset from GMT.

##### India
- India is in the +5:30 time zone.
- Since India is ahead of the UK by 5 hours and 30 minutes:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} + 5:30 = 17:30 \text{ (India)}
\]
- Time in India: 17:30
- Relative to UK: +5:30

##### Egypt
- Egypt is in the +2 time zone.
- Since Egypt is ahead of the UK by 2 hours:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} + 2:00 = 14:00 \text{ (Egypt)}
\]
- Time in Egypt: 14:00
- Relative to UK: +2

##### Paraguay
- Paraguay is in the -4 time zone.
- Since Paraguay is behind the UK by 4 hours:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} - 4:00 = 08:00 \text{ (Paraguay)}
\]
- Time in Paraguay: 08:00
- Relative to UK: -4

##### Canada
- Canada spans multiple time zones, but the most relevant one here is the -5 time zone (Eastern Time Zone).
- Since Canada (Eastern Time) is behind the UK by 5 hours:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} - 5:00 = 07:00 \text{ (Canada, Eastern Time)}
\]
- Time in Canada (Eastern Time): 07:00
- Relative to UK: -5

##### Italy
- Italy is in the +1 time zone.
- Since Italy is ahead of the UK by 1 hour:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} + 1:00 = 13:00 \text{ (Italy)}
\]
- Time in Italy: 13:00
- Relative to UK: +1

##### Mexico
- Mexico spans multiple time zones, but the most relevant one here is the -6 time zone (Central Standard Time).
- Since Mexico (Central Time) is behind the UK by 6 hours:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} - 6:00 = 06:00 \text{ (Mexico, Central Time)}
\]
- Time in Mexico (Central Time): 06:00
- Relative to UK: -6

##### Iceland
- Iceland is in the -0 time zone (same as GMT).
- Since Iceland is in the same time zone as the UK:
\[
12:00 \text{ (UK)} + 0:00 = 12:00 \text{ (Iceland)}
\]
- Time in Iceland: 12:00
- Relative to UK: 0

Final Answer:

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Country} & \text{Time} & \text{+ or -} \\
\hline
\text{India} & 17:30 & +5:30 \\
\hline
\text{Egypt} & 14:00 & +2 \\
\hline
\text{Paraguay} & 08:00 & -4 \\
\hline
\text{Canada} & 07:00 & -5 \\
\hline
\text{Italy} & 13:00 & +1 \\
\hline
\text{Mexico} & 06:00 & -6 \\
\hline
\text{Iceland} & 12:00 & 0 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
