The appearance of a flat anvil top indicates that the developing thunderstorm cloud (cumulonimbus) has reached a(n) extremely stable portion of the atmosphere.

Strong winds at high altitudes help create anvils in thunderclouds. The flat top of the anvil forms when rising cloudy air meets the highly stable air of the tropopause and lower stratosphere.

This marks the beginning of the second stage (maturation). The term downdraft is used to describe rain and cold air that begins to descend from a thunderstorm. Downdrafts cumulonimbus (as opposed to updrafts) can be thought of as cold air masses in clouds heading toward the Earth's surface.

Which are evidence of sea floor spreading? Select three options.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Several types of evidence supported Hess's theory of sea-floor spreading: eruptions of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves.

Explanation:

Sea-floor spreading occurs when the sea floor spreads apart along divergent boundaries and forms the mid-ocean ridge. Magma is pushed up through cracks in the crust along the mid-ocean ridge. As the magma is thrust up and hardens it forms new crust and the ocean floor on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge move outward.
