In the case of Chile this would be the Nazca plate colliding with the South American plate.
In the case of Haiti this could be the Caribbean plate colliding with the Cocos plate.
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.

"Collide divide slide" is a phrase used to describe the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent (collide), divergent (divide), and transform (slide). Convergent boundaries are where plates come together, divergent boundaries are where plates move apart, and transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other.
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
Chile
tetonic plates
Haiti is located near a transform boundary between the North American and Caribbean plate. As such they do not collide but slide past each other.
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.
Chile is located in South America on the Pacific coast while Haiti is located on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola in North America. Chile is located to the southwest of Haiti.

No.
Chile but more people were killed in Haiti because the effected area was more densly populated.
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
it is because haiti was a poor countrie and Chile was such a rich place for people to live in
Chile's earthquake arrived at approximately 8.7! Haiti's earthquake struck at 7.6. Chile is more rich than Haiti so they have enough money to repair bulding and bridges and pay for the people who are in the hospital. As for Haiti, they are a very small, poor country and need America's help. So help Haiti now.
