High cirriform clouds are composed almost entirely of ice crystals. In tropical regions, air temperatures low enough to freeze all liquid water usually occur only above 6000 m (about 20,000 ft). In polar regions, however, these same temperatures may be found at altitudes as low as 3000 m (about 10,000 ft). Hence, while you may observe cirrus clouds at 3600 m (about 12,000 ft) over northern Alaska, you will not see them at that elevation above southern Florida.
   a. True
   b. False

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.
