For example, I know that detect magic has a chance of working when used in combination with scrying, but if a spellcaster has detect magic running and simply looks around an area what can they detect in regards to the area being a (1) teleport source/destination, (2) entry point from the Ethereal plane or the Plane of Shadows, or (3) an area in which a summoned or gated creature appeared?
Basically, there was an incursion into an area and the party spellcaster wants to use detect magic about 10-15 minutes after the battle -- what would they be able to determine?

1) If the effect was teleport or equivalent, nothing. As a 6th level spell, it leaves a lingering aura for 1d6 minutes.
If the effect was the equivalent of greater teleport, the caster detects a dim aura and, after 3 rounds, can make a Spellcraft check to identify it as conjuration.
2) If the planar breach was caused by a spell or some other effect that the GM determines to be similar (spell-like abilities - probably, supernatural abilities - could go either way) then you'd check the level as for 1). The Ethereal Plane or Plane of Shadows are not, in themselves, magical effects.
3) If equivalent to a 7th level or higher spell, dim aura as for 1). If less powerful than that, nothing.
