Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

False
RATIONALE: All the meridians converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator. Lines of longitude are not the same distance from one another across the globe, so their values vary.

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.
