How were the Haitian and Chilean earthquakes similar?

There is no obvious similarity between the two earthquakes as they had differing causal mechanisms, occurred on differing types of tectonic plate boundaries between two different pairs of tectonic plates. The two earthquakes occurred due to differing types of fault movement (thrust faulting in the Chilean quake vs strike slip faulting in the Haitian quake) and at two differing types of plate boundaries. In the case of the Chilean earthquake, this was at a convergent boundary where the Nazca oceanic plate is being subducted under the continental South American plate as opposed to the Haitian earthquake which occurred at a transform boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates which are both moving east but at differing speeds. Also the earthquakes caused a significantly different number of casualties and fatalities (approx 230,000 dead in Haiti vs. approx 800 in Chile). Please see the related links for more information about the two earthquakes.


Can the tectonic plates move without an earthquake causing the event?

It is currently believed that the order of activity is: Plate movement first, earthquake second. The plate is deeper than the surface which is quaking. Case in point: The plates really are, in fact, constantly moving, large-scale earthquakes are 'occasional'.
