How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15322740 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge Context triple: [North Atlantic plate boundary system, associatedWith, Greenland-Iceland-Faroe Ridge]
-
A.
North Scotia Ridge
The North Scotia Ridge is a major submarine tectonic feature in the South Atlantic that forms the northern boundary of the Scotia Plate between South America and the Antarctic region.
-
B.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a vast underwater mountain range and divergent tectonic plate boundary running down the center of the Atlantic Ocean, where new oceanic crust is formed.
-
C.
East Scotia Ridge
The East Scotia Ridge is a back-arc spreading center and tectonic plate boundary in the South Atlantic, associated with seafloor spreading and volcanic activity between the Scotia Plate and surrounding plates.
-
D.
South Scotia Ridge
The South Scotia Ridge is a major submarine mountain chain in the Southern Ocean forming part of the tectonic boundary between the Scotia Plate and the Antarctic Plate.
-
E.
Nansen-Gakkel Ridge
Nansen-Gakkel Ridge is a slow-spreading mid-ocean ridge located beneath the Arctic Ocean, forming part of the seafloor spreading system between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
