The earth is made up of many plates all overlapping, when the rub against each other, due to the build up of force underneath, this causes an earthquake. The plates are large and don't run through some ccuontries. However one thing is for sure, that when one strikes, the people inhabitating the area- like in Haiti- live's will never be the same
