What is the main piece of evidence supporting the theory of seafloor spreading? Fossils of plants and animals along the ocean floor

Volcanic activity along the Ring of Fire

Glacial scratches on the seafloor

Alternating magnetic pattern in the rocks of the ocean floor

thanks hahahaha sorry jdfjcjjdfj

Alternating magnetic pattern in the rocks of the ocean floor

Explanation:

The rocky sea floor on either side of mid-ocean ridges has a matching pattern of magnetic stripes. This information provides evidence for sea-floor spreading. The matching striped pattern shows that Earth’s polarity was recorded on either side of the ridge as lava oozed from the ridge and cooled.  

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
