It's a earthquake where two plates move sideways from eachother for example the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip earthquake.
Move away from a fault line.
Parts of it will end up further North.
California has earth quakes because it is on plates under neath the earth once the plates move the ground shakes. Its kind of like Haiti. Its right were the tectonic plates move and because of convection currents and other things the earth spreads a part from eachother, like how we were in Pangaea.
when did this particular fualt last move

I believe it is called a fault, like the San Andreas fault in California.
Move away from a fault line.
AnswerAccording to the USGS, the plates along the San Andrea fault move about 1.7in per year.
It is not any particular rock type, it is a fault or crack along which rocks move. It cuts through different rock formations of various types.

Because going through the middle of haiti is a fault line so he fault line causes earthquakes when the two plates on each side move.
Parts of it will end up further North.
The San Andreas fault is part of a fault zone known as a transform fault zone where the two blocks/plates on either side move side by side (rather than on top of or away from one another.) It moves 'dextrally' (also known as right-laterally) which means if you stand on one side of it, the other side appears to move to the right. The plate boundary is about 1,200 kilometers long along the west coast of the USA through California.
A fault line, or plate boundary.
