Answer to Question 1

Answer: Sometimes portions of cumulonimbus clouds hang downward in sac-like shapes called mammatus. These features occur where downdrafts force water droplets below the cloud base or sloping edge of the cloud, usually near the anvil. Because of the high liquid water content of these clouds, the droplets contained in the downward-moving air require substantial descent (and resultant adiabatic warming) before they fully evaporate.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: cumulonimbus

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.
