Rivera Plate–Cocos Plate–Pacific Plate triple junction region
E1543087
UNEXPLORED
The Rivera Plate–Cocos Plate–Pacific Plate triple junction region is a tectonically active area off the west coast of Mexico where three oceanic plates meet, driving complex faulting, volcanism, and seafloor spreading.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T22574438 — 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: Rivera Plate–Cocos Plate–Pacific Plate triple junction region Context triple: [Rivera microplate, partOf, Rivera Plate–Cocos Plate–Pacific Plate triple junction region]
-
A.
Pacific–Cocos plate boundary
The Pacific–Cocos plate boundary is a tectonic plate margin in the eastern Pacific where the Pacific and Cocos plates interact through processes such as seafloor spreading, transform faulting, and subduction that shape regional seismic and volcanic activity.
-
B.
Pacific–Nazca plate boundary
The Pacific–Nazca plate boundary is a major tectonic boundary in the eastern Pacific Ocean where the Pacific Plate and the Nazca Plate interact, driving significant seafloor spreading, subduction, and associated seismic and volcanic activity.
-
C.
Chile Triple Junction
The Chile Triple Junction is a tectonic plate boundary off the southern coast of Chile where the Nazca, South American, and Antarctic plates meet, creating a complex and geologically active region.
-
D.
Bouvet Triple Junction region
The Bouvet Triple Junction region is a remote area in the South Atlantic Ocean where three major tectonic plate boundaries meet near Bouvet Island, forming a complex seafloor spreading and faulting system.
-
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.
