East Anatolian Fault

Target entity: East Anatolian Fault
Context triple: [North Anatolian Fault zone, relatedTo, East Anatolian Fault]

• A. North Anatolian Fault zone
  The North Anatolian Fault zone is a major active strike-slip fault system in northern Turkey, responsible for significant seismic activity and large earthquakes along the boundary between the Anatolian and Eurasian plates.
• B. Bitlis–Zagros suture zone
  The Bitlis–Zagros suture zone is a major tectonic collision belt in the Middle East marking the boundary where the Arabian Plate has collided with the Eurasian Plate, giving rise to significant mountain building and seismic activity.
• C. 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. Heezen Fault Zone
  The Heezen Fault Zone is a major undersea geological fault system named in honor of American oceanographer Bruce C. Heezen, recognized for his pioneering work in mapping the ocean floor.
• E. 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.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
