How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12703758 — 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.
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.
-
B.
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.
-

Septentrional-Oriente fault zone
The Septentrional-Oriente fault zone is a major strike-slip fault system in the northern Caribbean region that accommodates tectonic motion between the North American and Caribbean plates and is a significant source of regional earthquakes.
-
D.
Temblor Formation
The Temblor Formation is a geologic rock unit in California’s San Joaquin Basin that is a major petroleum-bearing reservoir, notably in fields such as the Belridge Oil Field.
-
E.
Ridgecrest fault system
The Ridgecrest fault system is a network of active strike-slip faults in the eastern California desert that produced the powerful 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence.
