Galápagos hotspot

Target entity: Galápagos hotspot
Context triple: [Cocos Ridge, relatedTo, Galápagos hotspot]

• A. Galápagos Spreading Center
  The Galápagos Spreading Center is a mid-ocean ridge segment in the eastern Pacific where tectonic plates diverge and new oceanic crust forms near the Galápagos Islands.
• B. Azores Triple Junction
  The Azores Triple Junction is a tectonic plate boundary region in the North Atlantic Ocean where the North American, Eurasian, and African plates converge and interact.
• C. Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain
  The Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain is a long, age-progressive line of volcanic islands and underwater mountains in the Pacific Ocean that records the movement of the Pacific Plate over a stationary mantle hotspot.
• D. East Pacific Rise
  The East Pacific Rise is a major mid-oceanic ridge and seafloor spreading center in the eastern Pacific Ocean, where tectonic plates diverge and new oceanic crust is formed.
• E. NW Rota-1
  NW Rota-1 is an active submarine volcano in the Mariana arc notable for its frequent explosive eruptions and continuous hydrothermal activity on the seafloor.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Galápagos hotspot
Target entity description: The Galápagos hotspot is a volcanic mantle plume beneath the eastern Pacific Ocean responsible for creating the Galápagos Islands and associated seafloor features through long-term hotspot volcanism.
