The earthquake that occurred in Haiti on January 12, 2010 is known as the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It was a catastrophic event that caused widespread devastation and loss of life in the country.
Haiti's earthquake was not strong enough to produce a tsunami. The earthquake caused a lot of destruction in Haiti, but that was largely because the buildings in Haiti had not been designed to withstand earthquakes. The earthquake in Haiti had its epicentre on LAND not in the ocean. Thus there was no sea floor movement associated with the earthquake which could have produced a tsunami.
The tectonic plates involved in the Haiti earthquake are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by the movement along a strike-slip fault between these two plates.
The earthquake in Haiti was caused by a strike-slip fault along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. Strike-slip faults occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing seismic activity.
The Haiti earthquake was measued at a magnitude of seven on the ricter scale.
