Best Answer

Two faults slipping past each other caused the earthquake in Haiti. The fault slipping as the Pacific Plate slid under the South American Plate raising the Andes Mountains caused the earthquake in Chile. Or, while both were caused by moving faults, the faults moved for different reasons.
