C.
Garlock Fault
The Garlock Fault is a major left-lateral strike-slip fault in southern California that forms the northern boundary of the Mojave Desert and plays a key role in the region’s complex tectonic deformation.
-
D.
Laguna Salada Fault
The Laguna Salada Fault is a major active geological fault system in the border region of northern Baja California, Mexico, and southern California, known for generating significant earthquakes such as the 1892 Laguna Salada event.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: San Gorgonio Pass thrust fault system Description of subject: The San Gorgonio Pass thrust fault system is a complex network of active thrust faults in Southern California that accommodates significant crustal deformation and influences regional seismic hazard.
