Haiti is an example of a transform boundary, because the left side of Haiti (where Port Au Prince is located) is the boundary of a tectonic plate that is sliding past another tectonic plate going in the other direction (Transform boundary). Because of this, a lot of tension builds up between the two plates, until an earthquake occurs when they slide past each other. (Keep in mind that tectonic plates move very little, and it took Pangea 250 million years to become what we see the world as now).
Think, today (this is recent news as of January 20, 2010) when you turn on the news you hear of the devastating effects of a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. This was because of the tectonic plates going in opposite directions against each other, i.e. the transform boundary!
The most famous example is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor .... one of the most visible and spectacular consequences of plate tectonics. ... However, a few occur on land, for example the San Andreas fault zone in California.

How do plates move in a transform boundry?
Transform boundarys are also called strike-slip faults. The only transform boundry is in California.
Strike slip faults cause of?
The cause of Strike-Slip faults are the formation of transform boundarys. My soures: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_plate_boundary_causes_a_strike_slip_fault The answer: I am certain that the answer is the transform boundary. The only thing I don't quite know is what is the difference from a boundary and a fault but I am 100% certain that the answer to your question is the transform boundary.
