From magnetic striping patterns, scientists can learn the following:

  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.

The other options related to earthquakes and predicting future geological events are not typically derivable from magnetic striping patterns.
