Which of the following can cause magnetic stripes to form along the ocean floor(1 point) Responses Rock forming at the oceanic ridge pushes older rock outward in both directions and records the current magnetic polarity. Rock forming at the oceanic ridge pushes older rock outward in both directions and records the current magnetic polarity. Magma creates a magnetic direction connected to Earth's iron core when it rises to the surface. Magma creates a magnetic direction connected to Earth's iron core when it rises to the surface. Magnetic direction of rock changes as Earth’s magnetic poles drift. Magnetic direction of rock changes as Earth’s magnetic poles drift. Plates move as new rock forms, which causes magnetic direction to skew away from normal.

The correct response is: Rock forming at the oceanic ridge pushes older rock outward in both directions and records the current magnetic polarity.
This process is part of seafloor spreading, where new crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and the magnetic properties of the rocks record the orientation of Earth's magnetic field at the time they solidified. This leads to the formation of magnetic stripes on the ocean floor.
