The oblique collision causes strain partitioning on strike slip faults. Haiti sits on a fault line between huge tectonic plates, big pieces of the Earth&#39;s crust that slide past each other over time. Both quakes are part of Haiti&#39;s long history of shakes, which results from the island nation&#39;s position at the edge of the slowly shifting Caribbean plate. However, as the boundary curves around to form the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, where the Haitian earthquake occurred, it starts to run parallel to the direction of relative plate motion, making strike-slip faulting along E-W trending faults the most likely expression of deformation in this region. The key juncture that sparks shaking on the surface in Haiti lies just to the north of the island nation, where the Caribbean plate creeps eastward roughly three-quarters of an inch each year.
