Haiti is located near a transform boundary between the North American and Caribbean plate. As such they do not collide but slide past each other.
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
In the case of Chile this would be the Nazca plate colliding with the South American plate. In the case of Haiti this could be the Caribbean plate colliding with the Cocos plate.
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3

Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.

When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
The Eurasian and Pacific plates collide into the Indian and Australian plates, also known as Indo-Australian plate.

When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
