It wasn't a volcano that erupted it was an earthquake that caused the damage.
There are no volcanoes on Hispanola, the island of the nations Haiti and the Domincan Republic. Hispanola has not been volcanically active for several million years. One can see from a map of the volcanic activity that the current activity in the Caribbean lies primarily along the arc of the Lesser Antilles.
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.
Three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by low-viscosity lava, while stratovolcanoes are characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.
Haiti is located along a transform plate boundary. Such boundaries do not have any mechanism for producing magma.
Hispaniola. (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) Haiti is the more mountainous country.
Haiti does not contain any volcanoes as of today. However, they are in an area of high tectonic plate movement, so a volcano could be formed at some point in the future.
Haiti does not have any active volcanoes at present. The last known volcanic activity in Haiti occurred thousands of years ago. However, the country experiences seismic activity due to the tectonic plates in the region.
