10) I might be temting the "pointless post" category, but here's what I found (Wiki'ed timberline):

Arctic tree-line The furthest north in the Northern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further north, it is too cold to sustain trees.

I think duke wants to know the treeline as in on a mountain?

[Duke87 1,070]

Okay, look, on a computer display, each red, green, and blue value goes from 0 to 255 saturation, or 256 incriments. Thus, the total number of different possible colors is 256x256x256, or 16,777,216.

10) A treeline occurs along the line where the average temperature for the month of July is 48°F. On the higher elevation/lattitude side of the line, it's colder, and you get tundra. On the lower elevation/lattitude side, it's warmer, and you get coniferous forest.
