Answer 3

On a global tectonic scale, movement of the Caribbean and the North American plates were responsible for the Haitian earthquake.

However on a subregional tectonic scale, there is a smaller plate that separates the Caribbean and the North American plates known as the Gonave micro-plate on which Haiti is partly situated (on the eastern end).

The Gonave micro-plate is bounded to the north by the Oriente and Septentrional Fracture Zones and to the south by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault, movement on which caused the magnitude 7 Haitian earthquake on the 12th of January 2010. http://wiki.answers.com/Which_tectonic_plates_caused_the_Haitian_earthquake_of_January_2010#ixzz160yZSQV1
