Why was the haitian earthquake so devastating? (2 points) haiti's population density haiti's weak government haiti's poor soil its location on a fault line

Option (4)

Explanation:

The Haitian earthquake was a very catastrophic one because the North American plate and Caribbean plate shares a transform type of plate boundary and this place is directly above the fault line.

In a transform plate motion, two plates slide past each other. These plates neither create nor destroys the crust. But it results in the occurrence of shallow-focus earthquakes, that is very catastrophic in nature.

Due to its location over a fault line, a magnitude earthquake occurred in the region of Haiti, thereby causing a lot of damage.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
