Haiti sits on the edge of two tectonic plates — the North American and the Caribbean. These plates are constantly in motion in this very active part of the world. Haiti sits on the west end of the island of Hispanola with two big faults running right through the country.
The southern fault, which triggered Tuesday’s 7.0 earthquake cuts right through the nation’s capital city, Port au Prince. The earthquake this week was also very shallow at just over five miles down so the quake was more powerful.
