Answer 1

Scientists can learn the following from magnetic striping patterns:

1. The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate.
2. The direction plates are moving relative to each other.
3. The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity.

These patterns provide insights into plate tectonics, the history of Earth's magnetic field, and geological activity.
