Atlantic–Caribbean plate boundary
E1172360
UNEXPLORED

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15695919 — 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.

Entity disambiguation (via context triple)
gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Atlantic–Caribbean plate boundary Context triple: [Lesser Antilles subduction zone, tectonicSetting, Atlantic–Caribbean plate boundary]
-
A.
Cocos–Caribbean plate boundary
The Cocos–Caribbean plate boundary is a tectonic interface in Central America where the oceanic Cocos Plate interacts with the Caribbean Plate, generating significant seismic and volcanic activity.
-
B.
Caribbean Plate boundary zone
The Caribbean Plate boundary zone is a complex tectonic region where the Caribbean Plate interacts with surrounding plates, generating significant seismic and volcanic activity across the northern Caribbean.
-
C.
Pacific–Cocos plate boundary
The Pacific–Cocos plate boundary is a tectonic plate margin in the eastern Pacific where the Pacific and Cocos plates interact through processes such as seafloor spreading, transform faulting, and subduction that shape regional seismic and volcanic activity.
-
D.
Caribbean Plate
The Caribbean Plate is a major tectonic plate underlying Central America and the Caribbean Sea, whose interactions with surrounding plates shape the region’s earthquakes, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.
-
E.
Cocos–North America plate boundary
The Cocos–North America plate boundary is a convergent tectonic margin where the oceanic Cocos Plate subducts beneath the continental North American Plate, generating significant seismic and volcanic activity along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
