Here's a breakdown:
* Plate Boundaries: The Earth's outer layer (the lithosphere) is broken into large, moving pieces called tectonic plates. These plates interact at their boundaries, creating various geological phenomena.
* Transform Fault Boundaries: These boundaries occur where two plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary is responsible for earthquakes, but not volcanic activity.
Haiti's location on a transform fault boundary means it is vulnerable to frequent and sometimes devastating earthquakes.
