The earthquake happened along a conservative plate margin marking the bounder

between the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. At 04:53 on January 12th 2010 the
island of Haiti was struck by a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake was caused
by stress building up along the conservative plate margin, when this stress was released there
was a sudden slip along the fault. The earthquake was followed by several large aftershocks of
up to 5.0 on the Richter scale. The earthquake devastated large parts of the capital Port-au-
Prince and resulted in massive loss of life making it one of the most destructive earthquakes of
all time. 230,000 people were killed. 180,000 homes destroyed by the ground shaking. 2 million
people were affected and 1.5 million were homeless. (9)
