| Description |
English: 2010 Haiti Earthquake — Five years ago, today, Haiti experienced a devastating M7.0 earthquake. The January 12, 2010, Haiti earthquake occurred in the boundary region separating the Caribbean plate and the North America plate. This plate boundary is dominated by left-lateral strike slip motion and compression, and accommodates about 20 mm/y slip, with the Caribbean plate moving eastward with respect to the North America plate.
