It important to have a uniform time corresponding to the Prime Meridian because:

  • Prime Meridian is a line of longitude where the longitude is defined to be 0 degrees.
  • Prime meridian was derived from the Greenwich Meridian, which was used in past exclusively.
  • Tectonic plates move slowly but uniformly which changes the geographical location of a place.
  • In order to compensate tectonic movement a particular time for a country was set according to their longitudes and latitudes.
  • Latitudinal extends causes change in time in different places.
  • All time zones are measured from a starting point on prime meridian.
