Concept –

Earthquakes have been wreaking havoc in Haiti since at least the 18th century, when the city of Port-au-Prince was destroyed twice in 19 years.
Haiti is densely populated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to withstand hurricanes, not earthquakes.
Haiti sits near the intersection of two plates — the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction.
Multiple fault lines between those plates cut through or near the island of Hispaniola, which Haiti shares with the Dominican Republic
