This seems kind of weird but if you look closely you can see them move very very slowly and the sand moving.

How is pillow lava evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Evidence shows that molten material erupts through this valley. The material then hardens to form the rock of the ocean floor.-Answered by Nadezda Dimsoski
What part of the earth is where tectonic plates move?
asthenosphere
Which planet in the solar system shows signs of tectonic plate motion?
Earth
Volcanic rock shows that some layers have magnetic fields that are aligned opposite to Earths This evidence BEST fits which hypothesis?
Sea floor spreading / plate tectonics. Also magnetic reversal in the past.
How do strips of magnetized rock on the ocean floor provide evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Strips of ocean-floor basalt record the polarity of earth's magnetic field at the time the rock formed. These strips form a pattern that is the same on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge. the pattern shows that ocean floor forms along mid-ocean ridges and then moves away from the ridge.

What accounts for the presence of marine fossils on mountain tops?
There was water there!!
Do earthquakes and volcanoes appear worldwide?
Yes but there are areas that it is much more likely to happen and areas it is not likely to happen. Of course this is because of tectonic plates and when they shift and in what direction they bump into each other. The earthquakes and volcanoes are more likely to happen along the Ring of Fire which shows where the tectonic plates are. It is a bit hard to explain though. My final answer is no it is not impossible but in some spots it is very unlikley, in others it is more likley. If you want to learn more, try searching tectonic plates in wikipedia or google.

How do you prove someone has perjured themselves on a legal document?
With tangible evidence that shows they lied on the legal document. The evidence would need to show the true facts to counter the perjury.With tangible evidence that shows they lied on the legal document.
