Question

Why. is the international date line drawn zigzag crooked​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is an imaginary line, like longitudes and latitudes. ... So, the date changes as soon as one crosses this line. To avoid any confusion of date, this line is drawn through where the sea lies and not land. Hence, the IDL is drawn in a zig-zag manner.

Answer 2

Answer:

The International Date Line ( IDL) passes through the Pacific Ocean. It goes zig-zag. In order to avoid the confusion of having different dates in the same country, the International Date Line bends and goes zig zag at the Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska, Fiji, Tonga and in some other islands.
