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.
The plates that collide in Haiti are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. In Chile, the collision is between the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate. These interactions between tectonic plates result in frequent seismic activity in both regions.
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
