Haiti is located near a transform boundary.
Please see the related question for more information.
Haiti is located near a complex boundary where the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate interact. This interaction involves a combination of transform faulting and subduction, making it a highly seismically active region.
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.
It is situated near the edge of the Caribbean plate and the North American plate
Haiti is located on the boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. The interaction between these two plates leads to seismic activity in the region, contributing to Haiti's vulnerability to earthquakes.
On a global tectonic scale, Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. This is a transform boundary. On a subregional tectonic scale, Haiti is situated on the eastern end of of a smaller plate that separates the Caribbean and the North American plates known as the Gonave micro-plate. This micro-plate and hence Haiti is bounded to the north by the Oriente Fracture Zone and to the south by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault which are both transform faults (very similar to the San Andreas Fault in the USA). Please see the related question.

Volcano rock near volcano's, which are found near plate boundary's.
A certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.

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.
It is found on a destructive plate boundary

Mount Merapi is near a convergent plate boundary where the Indo-Australian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate.
Trenches are typically found at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where one plate is being subducted beneath another. The most well-known trenches are oceanic trenches, found underwater near subduction zones where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another.
