The chronometer is a device to measure time in a period of time, therefore not a correct answer.
Answer:
Coriolis effect
Explanation:
The Coriolis effect is an apparent force, corresponding to the earth's surface, which makes deflection of any moving object (air masses) to the right in Northern Hemisphere and to the left in Southern Hemisphere because of the earth's rotation. The Coriolis effect is a primary cause of various large scale weather patterns e.g. Coriolis effect is responsible for cyclones and trade winds.
The weather effecting fast moving objects e.g planes, missiles,rockets is affected by the Coriolis effect. Coriolis effect determines the direction of winds. A plane that flies along a path (north-south) should not fly directly towards the target location but it should fly either a little right or left of it to get to the target location.
The Coriolis effect also have an impact on ocean patterns. The winds power the seas. There are very similar patterns of ocean and atmospheric circulation. The effect is that ocean flows in their basins in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer:
A - Pacific plate
B - North American plate
C - African plate
D - Eurasian plate
Explanation:
Plate tectonics theory explained the plate movement and evolution from 65 million years ago which is pre cambrian era. There were seven major plates in the world such as Pacific plate, North American plate, South American plate, Eurasian plate, African plate, Indo Australian plate and Antartic plate. There were three movements in the plate such as Convergence plate boundary, divergence plate boundary and Transform plate boundary. Pacific plate is biggest plate among all.
