How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20355911 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed.

Target entity: Samoa hotspot track Context triple: [Samoan Islands volcanic chain, isPartOf, Samoa hotspot track]
-
A.
Hawaiian hotspot
The Hawaiian hotspot is a long-lived volcanic plume in the Earth's mantle that has created the Hawaiian Island chain and associated seamounts as the Pacific Plate moves over it.
-
B.
Ascension hotspot
The Ascension hotspot is a volcanic mantle plume beneath the South Atlantic Ocean that has generated the volcanic activity forming Ascension Island and nearby seafloor features.
-
C.
Lord Howe hotspot
The Lord Howe hotspot is a volcanic hotspot in the Tasman Sea responsible for creating the Lord Howe Seamount Chain and related volcanic features on the seafloor.
-
D.
Kerguelen hotspot
The Kerguelen hotspot is a long-lived volcanic mantle plume in the southern Indian Ocean responsible for creating the vast Kerguelen Plateau and associated volcanic islands.
-
E.
Galápagos hotspot
The Galápagos hotspot is a volcanic mantle plume beneath the eastern Pacific Ocean responsible for creating the Galápagos Islands and associated seafloor features through long-term hotspot volcanism.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
