The American Plate
It is situated near the edge of the Caribbean plate and the North American plate
its on the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault
The Caribbean plate and the North American plate.
Haiti is on the boundary of two tectonic plates, the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. The shifting of these plates is what caused the massive 7 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010.
The American Plate
i think haiti is located on the carribean plate and is the center of the plate or the edge im not sure
Yes, It is on the Caribbean Plate
I think it was the Caribbean plate and the cocos plate.

Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. Please see the related link and question.
On a global tectonic scale, Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. This is a transform boundary. On a subregional tectonic scale, Haiti is situated on the eastern end of of a smaller plate that separates the Caribbean and the North American plates known as the Gonave micro-plate. This micro-plate and hence Haiti is bounded to the north by the Oriente Fracture Zone and to the south by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault which are both transform faults (very similar to the San Andreas Fault in the USA). Please see the related question.
On a global tectonic scale, Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. In this area, the Caribbean plate is moving eastwards by about 20 mm/year relative to the North American plate. On a subregional tectonic scale, Haiti is situated on the eastern end of of a smaller plate that separates the Caribbean and the North American plates known as the Gonave micro-plate. This micro-plate and hence Haiti is bounded to the north by the Oriente and Septentrional fracture zones and to the south by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone which are both transform faults (very similar to the San Andreas Fault in the USA). Please see the related question for further information.
Haiti does not contain any volcanoes as of today. However, they are in an area of high tectonic plate movement, so a volcano could be formed at some point in the future.
