Select the three correct answers.(2 points) Responses the year the next magnetic reversal will take place the year the next magnetic reversal will take place the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity. the cause of magnetic pole reversals the cause of magnetic pole reversals the direction plates are moving relative to each other the direction plates are moving relative to each other the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

Answer 1

Scientists can learn the following from magnetic striping patterns:

1. The direction plates are moving relative to each other.
2. The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate.
3. The cause of magnetic pole reversals.

These aspects are related to the study of tectonic plate movements and the geological history recorded in the ocean floor's magnetic patterns. The other options, such as predicting the exact location of earthquakes or the next magnetic reversal, are not typically derived from magnetic striping patterns.
