The two earthquakes occurred due to differing types of fault movement (thrust faulting in the Chilean quake vs strike slip faulting in the Haitian quake) and at two differing types of plate boundaries. In the case of the Chilean earthquake, this was at a convergent boundary where the Nazca oceanic plate is being subducted under the continental South American plate as opposed to the Haitian earthquake which occurred at a transform boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates which are both moving east but at differing speeds.
The Haitian earthquake was also of lower magnitude (magnitude 7.0) than the Chilean earthquake (magnitude 8.8) however it caused more damage and led to a much larger number of injuries and fatalities due to the poor construction techniques used in Haiti.

At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
The difference between a earthquake forecast and an earthquake prediction us that an earth quake forecast is when people say whats gonna happen and a prediction is what scientist think what might happen.
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is about 1.4 times stronger than a magnitude 5.9.
There have been many devastating earthquakes over the years. Some of the worst and most massive earthquakes have been the 1976 Tangshan earthquake that killed between 240,000 and 655,000 people. Another massive one was the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake which killed 830,000 people. The largest earthquake to be measured on a seismograph was the 1960 Chilean Earthquake which was a 9.5 magnitude.
A hurricane is a storm. A earthquake is movement of the earth.
One difference is: By the end of the year, 80% of the damage was either fixed or replaced, and Kobe did not take any donations that were offered to them. Haiti received £4.6 billion and still there is rubble taking up 40% of the country.
There is no obvious geological link between the two earthquakes as they had differing causal mechanisms, occurred on differing types of tectonic plate boundaries between two different pairs of tectonic plates. The two earthquakes occurred due to differing types of fault movement (thrust faulting in the Chilean quake vs strike slip faulting in the Haitian quake) and at two differing types of plate boundaries. In the case of the Chilean earthquake, this was at a convergent boundary where the Nazca oceanic plate is being subducted under the continental South American plate as opposed to the Haitian earthquake which occurred at a transform boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates which are both moving east but at differing speeds.

Also the earthquakes caused a significantly different number of casualties and fatalities (approx 230,000 dead in Haiti vs. approx 800 in Chile).

Answer this question… Both revolutions were aimed at overthrowing foreign colonial governments.
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)
