- Abstract
The article discusses the factors which triggered the magnitude seven earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010. According to several geologists after their intense field research for 10 months, the earthquake that occurred in the country was more complex due to the presence of tectonic strain in the region which could cause another quake. It states that the catastrophe killed about 230,000 people and destroyed the homes of about 1.3 million survivors.
