Technically all of Earth's tectonic plates were in motion when Katrina occurred, although Katrina had no cause/effect due to plate motion.

What are the tectonic plates called which made the Haiti earthquake?
The Caribbean plate and the North American plate.
Why there was no tsunami after Haiti's earthquake?
Haiti's earthquake was not strong enough to produce a tsunami. The earthquake caused a lot of destruction in Haiti, but that was largely because the buildings in Haiti had not been designed to withstand earthquakes. The earthquake in Haiti had its epicentre on LAND not in the ocean. Thus there was no sea floor movement associated with the earthquake which could have produced a tsunami.
What type of plate boundary caused earthquake in Haiti?
a conservative one
What are the causes of latur earthquake?
plate movement
Why did Haiti earthquake happen?
Haiti earthquake happened because the Carribbean plate and the North American plate clashed. The Carribbean plate moves about 20mm eastwards each year and the North American moves much slower. That's why the plates crashed and an earthquake happened. oh yeah. You are very kind
What plates caused haiti's earthquake?
The movement of the Caribbean and the north American plate caused haiti's earthquake . x hope this helps x
What tectonic plates caused haiti's earthquake?
I think it was the Caribbean plate and the cocos plate.
Was they Haiti earthquake caused by constructive plate boundaries?
No. The Haitian earthquake was caused by a transform boundary.

What can be formed in the movement of plate?
earthquake
What are the tectonic plates called which made the Haiti earthquake?
The Caribbean plate and the North American plate.
What type of plate boundary caused earthquake in Haiti?
a conservative one
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
Was the haiti earthquake on a conservative plate boundary?
Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.
What are the natural causes of an earthquake?
plate movement
What are the causes of latur earthquake?
plate movement
