The Mw 7.0 Haiti Earthquake of January 12, 2010
2.0 SEISMOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Haiti occupies the western third of the island of Hispanola, along the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate (Figure 2.1). The island occurs on a separate microplate bounded on the north by the Great Puerto Rican/North Hispanola subduction zone and transtensional strike-slip faults (Oriente-Septentrional fault) that define the boundary between the North American and Caribbean plates, and the Muertos trench subduction zone and strike-slip Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ) that define the plate interface between the microplate and Caribbean plate (Figure 2.1).
