[note 1] Yukon Daylight Time ( YDT) when observed was eight hours behind UTC. In 1983 the UTC−09:00 based time zone was restructured ...
Altitudinal zonation (or elevational zonation [1]) in mountainous regions describes the natural layering of ecosystems that occurs at distinct elevations due to varying environmental conditions. Temperature, humidity, soil composition, and solar radiation are important factors in determining altitudinal zones, which consequently support ...
A majority of North Dakota counties are located in the Central Time Zone, with 8 counties in the southwest, west of the Missouri River, following Mountain Time. [1] [2] The counties which observe MST are as follows: [3] Bowman County. Adams County.

In mountaineering, the death zone refers to altitudes above a certain point where the pressure of oxygen is insufficient to sustain human life for an extended time span. This point is generally tagged as 8,000 m (26,000 ft), where atmospheric pressure is less than 356 millibars (10 ...
Map of U.S. time zones with new CST and EST areas displayed. Some U.S. time zones, such as the Samoa Time Zone, are not on this map. This is a list of the time offsets by U.S. states, federal district, and territories. For more about the time zones of the U.S. see time in the United States. Most states are entirely contained within one time zone.
