How did the discovery of magnetic reversals helped to develop the theory of plate
tectonics?

One of the most important pieces of evidence supporting the plate tectonic theory was the discovery of oceanic rocks that record the ancient transformation of the earth's magnetic field: as rocks are formed from which plates come, they record the current magnetic field of the earth's field, the flip-flops.

hope it helps!
