Answer to Question 1

A thermal is a hot bubble of air that breaks away from the ground and starts to rise, expanding and cooling as it ascends.

Answer to Question 2

The stability of the air is determined by comparing the temperature in a rising air parcel to that of its surroundings.

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.
