How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T22987050 — 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.

-
A.
Rocky Mountain fault system
The Rocky Mountain fault system is a major network of geological faults along the Rocky Mountains that has shaped the region’s topography and tectonic evolution.
-
B.
Brawley Seismic Zone
The Brawley Seismic Zone is an active tectonic region in Southern California characterized by frequent small to moderate earthquakes and complex faulting that links the Imperial and southern San Andreas faults.
-
C.
Great Falls tectonic zone
The Great Falls tectonic zone is a major Precambrian structural and tectonic boundary in the north-central United States that separates distinct crustal provinces within the North American craton.
-
D.
Limagne fault
The Limagne fault is a major geological fault system in central France that forms part of the Limagne graben and helps define the tectonic setting of the Chaîne des Puys volcanic region.
-
E.
Imperial Fault Zone
The Imperial Fault Zone is a major active strike-slip fault system in Southern California that forms part of the southernmost extension of the San Andreas Fault system and is a significant source of regional earthquakes.
- F. None of above. chosen
