Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.

Tha Haitian Earthquake was caused by the transform boundary between the Caribbean and the North American plates. Please see the related question for mor information about the Haitian Earthquake.
It haPpened on Tuesday january 12,2010 at 4:53pm and anther one is it happened 16miles away from the capital
The earthquake in Haiti was caused by a strike-slip fault along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. Strike-slip faults occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing seismic activity.
No. The Haitian earthquake was caused by a transform boundary.
No, it was a destructive plate boundry. :)
The Izmit earthquake in 1999 occurred along a transform boundary, which is a type of conservative plate boundary. This earthquake resulted from the movement of the North Anatolian Fault, where the Eurasian Plate slides horizontally past the Anatolian Plate.
No, the L'Aquila earthquake was not caused by a conservative plate boundary. It was associated with the movement along a normal fault within the Eurasian Plate. Normal faulting occurs at divergent plate boundaries, where plates move away from each other, rather than at conservative plate boundaries where plates slide past each other horizontally.
The Haiti earthquake occurred at the boundary of the Caribbean tectonic plate and the North American tectonic plate. The specific fault line responsible for the earthquake was the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone.
Haiti sits on a transform plate boundary, honey. Tectonic plates there are rubbing shoulders side to side, causing earthquakes that'll make your head spin. So, if you're planning a trip to Haiti, make sure to pack your earthquake survival kit and maybe some extra patience for the aftershocks.
I think the Caribbean plate and north American plate slid past each other, a transformation boundary.
a constructive plate boundary is where two plates move apart from eachother forming a gap which allows magma to rise and that leads to a earthquake.
The Haiti earthquake that occurred in 2010 was a result of a strike-slip boundary where the North American Plate and Caribbean Plate slid past each other horizontally along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone.
Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. Please see the related question.
