How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T3894828 — 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.

Target entity: Caribbean Plate boundary zone Context triple: [Septentrional-Oriente fault zone, associatedWith, Caribbean Plate boundary zone]
-
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.
Lesser Antilles subduction zone
The Lesser Antilles subduction zone is a convergent plate boundary in the eastern Caribbean where the Atlantic oceanic crust is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate, generating a volcanic island arc and frequent seismic activity.
-
C.
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.
-
D.
Belize margin
The Belize margin is the continental shelf and slope region off the coast of Belize in the western Caribbean, characterized by extensive coral reefs and sedimentary basins along the edge of the Yucatán Basin.
-
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.

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
