Liquid Mercury actually drips from the walls of the caves in the ancient mines of Spain.


What Mercury is Used For
Mercury is used to make scientific tools such as barometers, thermometers, diffusion pumps, and can also be found inside of batteries. This element is used in thermometers because it has a great amount of thermal expansion, which is constant over a great temperature range.  The use of Mercury in thermometers is declining in favor of safer fluids.
