Answer to Question 1

False
RATIONALE: Altitudinal zonation refers to the series of highland climates arranged into zones by elevation. This zonation results from the fact that air temperature decreases with elevation at a normal lapse rate of approximately 3.6F (1.7C) per 1000 feet (300 m). At least four major zones are commonly recognized in Latin America: the tierra caliente (hot country), the tierra templada (cool country), the tierra fra (cold country), and the tierra helada (frost country).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
