Nojima Fault

Target entity: Nojima Fault
Context triple: [Northern Awaji Island, hasNotableFault, Nojima Fault]

• A. Beppu–Shimabara graben
  The Beppu–Shimabara graben is a tectonic rift zone in Kyushu, Japan, characterized by active volcanism, hot springs, and significant crustal deformation.
• B. Gloria Fault
  The Gloria Fault is a major transform fault in the North Atlantic Ocean that forms part of the boundary between the Eurasian and African tectonic plates near the Azores region.
• C. Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone
  The Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone is a major strike-slip fault system in southern Chile that controls much of the region’s tectonic activity, volcanism, and seismicity along the Andean margin.
• D. 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.
• E. Japan Trench
  The Japan Trench is a deep oceanic trench off northeastern Japan where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Okhotsk Plate, forming part of the Pacific Ring of Fire and generating powerful earthquakes and tsunamis.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Nojima Fault
Target entity description: The Nojima Fault is a major active fault in Japan best known for rupturing during the 1995 Great Hanshin (Kobe) earthquake, where it produced prominent surface displacements now preserved as a geological museum site.
