The two correct answers that cause magnetic stripes to form along the ocean floor are:

1. **Magma acquires the magnetic direction present on Earth when it hardens into rock.**

2. **Magnetic direction of rock changes as Earth’s magnetic poles drift.**

These factors are responsible for the creation of magnetic stripes, which record the reversals of Earth's magnetic field and contribute to our understanding of plate tectonics and seafloor spreading.
