What was the cause of the Haiti 2010 earthquake?
The Haiti 2010 earthquake was caused by a slip along a previously unrecognized fault line called the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault system. This fault line runs directly through the highly populated areas near Port-au-Prince, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life.
Why do earthquakes take place near the la area?
Earthquakes occur near the LA area due to the movement of tectonic plates along the San Andreas Fault. The fault line passes near Los Angeles, making the region prone to seismic activity. Stress builds up along the fault line over time and is eventually released in the form of an earthquake.
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
What type of fault and near what zone did the japan earthquake occurred?
It happened along the Kego Fault zone.
Is the epicentre always on a fault line?
No, the epicenter is not always on a fault line. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates, which is the focus or hypocenter. Earthquake epicenters can occur both on and off fault lines.
Where does an earthquake always occur?
Along a plate boundary or a fault line.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?

What can you infer about why the probability of an earthquake is so high in the Parkfield area?
You can infer that it is on or near a fault line. You can also infer that a earthquake is very likely to occur there.
What are the earthquake prone areas of the world?
The earthquake prone areas are those on or near fault lines or subduction zones, and those near active volcanoes. Most of the rim of the Pacific Ocean is one such area.

What are the chances of a large earthquake in Ontario?
The odds of Ontario to have a large scale earthquake is slim to none due to the fact that Ontario doesn't sit on a fault line. The fault lines are what causes earthquake. For example, San Fransisco sits directly on top of the San Andreas fault line. When an earthquake hits, the impact is always devastating. Even recently with the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, Haiti sits close to the Carribean fault line. This is what caused the Earthquake. Waterloo Ontario had an earthquake @1:48pmr June 23 2010 "3.5 or higher"
