Scientists can learn from magnetic striping patterns the following three correct answers:

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

These patterns in magnetic striping provide important information about the history of Earth's magnetic field, tectonic plate movements, and the processes of plate tectonics.
