The Chile earthquake oucrred along a subduction zone, where one plate slides under another. Often, earthquakes along such aboundary will trigger vertical movement of the seafloor, which can trigger a tsunami. The earthquake in Haitin in 2010 ocurred along a transform boundary where plates slide past each other with no vertical movement.
