Haiti is a LEDC country located between North and South America in the Caribbean. Haiti is situated to the north of the Caribbean Plate, on a conservative plate boundary with the North American Plate. The North American Plate is moving west.
This movement is not smooth and there is friction between the North American and Caribbean Plate. Pressure builds between the two plates until it is released as an Earthquake.
